LTE is available in Australia via the carrier Telstra – and the HTC Titan 4G is launching on the LTE network next month joining 3 other existing HTC models.

Unfortunately, our LTE seems to run on a different band than the American version and thus no Nokia 900 for now, it seems. I’d have thought it’d just be a driver tweak to run on a different band…
I so much want to get a magenta lumia900 for my wife and blue one for me so we can be the ultimate wp duo! ive been trying to market wp7 to friends with my lg 1st gen but it didnt have the wow factor of the lumia900. Due to funds i’ll have to wait for wp8 though
Viva wp7.5/8!
Definitely getting a white one. Have tried the Lumia 800 in black and cyan. Nice feel to both of them, although the cyan gets visibly dirtier. Therefore I am hoping the white will be more durable and easier to clean due to the glossy finish.
