Comments
I bought an LG TU500 phone and switched to the Next G network, as I succumbed to the advertising blurb about great coverage etc etc. It's the worst phone mistake I've made. Some calls work fine, but most dropoput without warning. This problem happens in Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Adelaide. , and yet amazingly my phone worked fine about 4 stories underground in a car park. There is no pattern to the dropouts, it just happens anywhere, anytime. When I am on a call, the clarity is excellent though. I spoke to Telstra, they are well aware of the problem, and suggest avoiding the Next G network until there's more bas stations, probably in a year or 2. The problem is I'm stuck with this xxxxx phone on a lousy network. Don't make the same mistake as me!
