can i ask what the problem is to be with telstra only?
by the way, 3 arn't totally telling a lie when they say the have acess to the telstra 3g network. # and telstra worked together to develop and instal the 3G network. 1900 3G is only avaliable in the cities and larger netro areas (for example, darwin doesn't have 1900 3G) but telstras NextG network which is a 850MhZ 3G HSDPA network is exclusive to them. Optus i think is begining to roll out their own HSDPA network but i'm not 100% certian about that
