I have to wonder if Telstra will be a launch customer for a 3G iPhone. Telstra's network is primarily HSDPA 850. Their GSM network only exists in cities. Telstra has been making a big deal about its NextG (HSDPA 850) network's speed and extensive coverage. They'd be put in tough spot to have to say the iPhone only works on our GSM network, not the network we've been trumpeting as the greatest thing since indoor plubming. Telstra also operates a join UMTS 2100 network with 3. One could go out on a limb and say it only makes sense for Telstra to be a launch customer for a quadband GSM + triband HSDPA iPhone. Time will tell as always.
Sorry dude but telstra GSM has much better coverage than just cities. Its Telstra 3G and UTMS that is restricted to cities, GSM covers over 90% of Australias population. I'd know, I do a lot of traveling and get Telstra reception everywhere. Infact, i get Telstra reception everywhere on my iPhone.
