General Comments
This phone was foisted on me by an operator with a poor grasp of English, who assured me that CDMA was going in a month or so (this was the end of November 2006) in spite of my querying her on this, and I was offered no choice of phone. She initially said she "would send" us a Motorola, but then said for our region she would send me "a better one"...no brand or alternative to it were mentioned.
Then the ZTE E3 Linux mobile phone arrived. The first arrival was DOA and returned, but they would not change it for another make, just for a like ZTE phone.
I have never been so dissatisfied with a mobile phone before. I am reasonably happy with Telstra's overall service, but I do wish I could deal with call centre sales people who I can both understand and communicate with!
