This morning Telstra announced they will be adding the X10 Mini Pro to their Android line up in early August.

Hopefully they don’t take over the device with their useless bloatware. No pricing has been announced as of yet.

  *sigh* Yeah we do. Well, hopefully it’s 19 apps like on the Desire.

The specs on Mobicity say it isn’t NextG compatible – which aint great for a smartphone.
But, the SonyEricsson website says it is “UMTS/HSPA 850″ compatible – I understand that this is what Telstra calls NextG.
Anyone have any idea if the ones Telstra will sell will be NextG compatible?
Or is this just a mistake on the MobiCity site?

  There are two versions of the device U20a and U20i.
  
  Telstra will be selling the U20a which is 850/1900/2100MHz UMTS, which will work on NextG fine.
  
  The one you are looking at on MobiCity is U20i which is 900/1700/2100MHz, which will work on all other carriers in Aus.

“Hopefully they don’t take over the device with their useless bloatware.”

Are you kidding? Yes Telstra usually adds a fair bit to the branded devices, but it’s usually stuff that it pretty handy…

* My Place – access various Telstra services with two clicks (you don’t know how many times a day my family and I use this!).
* RMC – browse and view Mobile Foxtel like on a “normal” television, complete with interactive ticker (show “on-now/on-next”, and allowing quick channel changes).
* Scan Code – read QR (Quick Response) codes.

Heck, I’m disappointed when my new phones DON’T have these applications (something that is all-too-common with regards to “RMC”…)!

  I’d say you’re in the minority there.
