Borroloola is one of the many "communities" with a population of more than 500,
therefore it has a Telstra CDMA cellular site AND a Telstra Next G cell.
Before you leave the deep south, migrate to Telstra, get a Next G phone.
You can access and display most Wx Radar sites on your Next G phone, something that will be of great interest to you up north.
The lightning displays are spectacular from the ground, and scary from the air,
up north! Your Next G phone will help you stay away from the stuff.
If, like me, you're a Nokia enthusiast, get a CDMA prepaid to tide you over until Nokia releases and telstra approves their Next G range.
If you have a laptop, get a next G broadband card (PCMCIA or USB), preferably the Australian Maxxon, not the Chinese ZTE.
As I have posted on the CDMA/Next G thread, you will have ground coverage at most communities, and in flight coverage almost everywhere at or above 8,000'.
And yes, Next G is up and running at Borroloola, in fact almost everywhere except Maningrida (October) and Laverton (NT).
There are no internet cafe's but you will be able to use a landline for dial up.
If you haven't got a laptop, you'll probably need one, just to use NAIPS.
Enjoy Borroloola, the pub is educational, and you'll sharpen your snooker skills.
Barramundi fishing is unbelievable, and if you need female company instead, there are schoolteachers and nurses.
Stay safe and enjoy the top end.
