Just a reminder that the scheduled date is 28th Jan 2008.
If you haven't changed over your CDMA mobile before that date, you can probably expect delays for a few days afterwards as shops get crowded with many people who "were too busy"

or "forgot"

If migrating to Telstra's "Next G" network rather than taking opportunity to sample a competitor's offerings, make sure you get a handset which is sensitive enough to work where you need it, or has a compatible car/external antenna kit.
I strongly suggest choosing a handset with a "rural tick" on it, as mine worked on KI at times when others did not

Only a couple of dead spots that I found.
At this stage there is little likelihood of this date being pushed out, as signal strength coverage has -generally- been matched or exceeded by Telstra's new network (yes, there are exceptions - if you know of one, for goodness sake report it so it can be fixed).
