Just picked up a Telstra Pre-Paid Elite 3G Mobile Wifi for $39 at JB-HiFi on Bourke St (Melbourne). The RRP is $79. Includes 2GB of data to use within the first 30 days.
Seems Like the good guys are next in line to have a run at discounting this modem. Now that apparently its easier to unlock as per discussions on the whirlpool forums.
