Motorola and Telstra held a joint event this morning in Sydney promoting the Razr HD and Razr M phones. While there weren’t really any surprises about the phones themselves (they’ve been covered fairly extensively since their launch a couple of weeks ago in the US), the big news is that the Razr HD is available [...]

It turns out that the Samsung Galaxy S III 4G from Telstra might be arriving a little earlier than we thought. Telstra have launched the online store page for the Galaxy S III 4G, however, delivery is expected within the next 5-9 days — by then it will be available in stores around that October [...]

We have received some information that suggests Telstra will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S III 4G on October 9th. That’s a good week and a half away, and a Tuesday, which is when Telstra usually launches new devices. The date is yet to be confirmed publicly by Telstra, and they are also yet to [...]

We’ve reviewed a few cheap handsets in the past, and while they don’t always get a good wrap, we certainly can’t discount their importance in making Android more accessible to everyone, especially to those people who can’t (or don’t want to) splash out for an expensive smartphone. When we were tipped by Alex earlier, we [...]

Update: We have reached out to Motorola to confirm the availability of Jelly Bean for the Australian released handsets. While Australian users will not be eligible for a $100 rebate if Jelly Bean is not delivered, Motorola has confirmed that the RAZR M and RAZR HD will be upgraded to Jelly Bean, and more details [...]

As already noted this morning in other posts, The Samsung Galaxy S III 4G is available for pre-order in Australia NOW! You can buy outright through the Samsung store in Sydney or on a plan via Telstra or Optus.

The Samsung Galaxy S III is undoubtedly one of the more popular phone launches this year, and those that have used Telstra’s 4G network have been keenly awaiting an announcement of the 4G variant of the SGS3 to arrive. Well, await no more. Telstra have announced this morning that the Galaxy S III 4G will [...]

The day has finally come for Motorola XOOM 2 owners: Android 4.0 is here. Motorola Australia today confirmed that the roll-out of the Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” update has begun for Telstra users. This update applies to both Wi-Fi and 3G variants of the XOOM 2. It’s a staggered release, so if you don’t [...]

Another interesting tid-bit to come out of Telstra forum post today, is that Samsung have confirmed what we kind of already knew: the Galaxy S III will be getting Jelly Bean. What this does mean is that Samsung will soon be passing that update over to Telstra for testing and then onto the end-user. “The [...]

Telstra today confirmed — via a community forum post — that the Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich” update for the Samsung Galaxy S II 4G has been delayed an extra week. There was no definite reasoning behind this, but as you can see below, Telstra are expecting a new submission to arrive on August 31 [...]

I think it’s fair to say that when Samsung came to market with the Galaxy S III, there was one thing a lot of us – particularly Telstra users – were a bit upset with. It wasn’t a deal breaker for a lot of us, because lets face it, the Galaxy S III works just [...]

Telstra has advised that they have finished testing the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Motorola Xoom 2 and are looking to make it available to tablets on the 3rd of September. Telstra announced back in June that they had received the update and it’s good to see it has now been approved. Telstra testing [...]

I was in Sydney almost 2 weeks ago for the Asus Transformer Infinity launch and Telstra were kind enough to set up some time for me to speak to one of their Mobile Software managers Craig Ruhan. He sat down and spoke to me for a while about Android Updates and the processes that they [...]
