Hi,

There has been much discussion recently about the coverage, or lack of, using the Telstra Next G network as compared to CDMA.

A few days ago I was in the local Telstra shop and brought this up while talking to an unusually knowlegeble sales person. He said that there have been quite a lot of Next G phones that have been supplied with the network selection parameter set to GSM. This means that they do not act as a NextG phone at all. The correct setting is AUTO which allows the phone to detect the Next G network if available, or to default transparently to GSM if not (eg. overseas) The phone should show Next G on the display.

This may help some people.I hope. I will keep my old CDMA phone for a while longer hovever.
