Mate the Nokia E51 (which is probably the worst quality phone Nokia has ever produced in my mind - i'm up to phone #3), is by far remarkable with regards to Telstra 3G network. In FNQ I often get reception all around the cape the entire time (even up to F250), its remarkable. Handy in those boring cruises when you can get wx and check/send e-mails, v. handy. It still gives me a surprise when i've forgotten to turn it off and I get a phone call in the flight levels. BR
