Pointing only to insiders in its rumor, the Pacific nation's Smarthouse asserts that Telstra has landed a three-month exclusive for the phone on its network that would start from August.

The network would provide 100Mbps access to about 90 percent of the country's population and would reach the remaining 10 percent through long-range wireless.

The move gives the entity about 6 million cellular customers on the island nation and is being made to compete against incumbents Optus and Telstra, both of which have outpaced Vodafone's Australian wing.

A trial conducted in Spain has managed 16Mbps downstream speeds in peak but real-world conditions, or more than double the theoretical-only 7.2Mbps peak for regular HSPA. The test comes despite using a single-antenna reception setup that lim... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/15/vodafone.hspa.plus.trial/ Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/01/12/htc.android.palm.killer/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/htctouchhd.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Senior officials from Australian carrier Telstra claims on Monday that HTC is developing a smartphone that would trump devices from Apple and Palm.
