Just before Christmas I was given the opportunity to test the Telstra T90 mobile phone.  I was quite impressed overall.  I found that it had a good clear sound for audio quality.  I found that the T90 had better reception than my Nokia E51 particularly in several places where I was known not to have coverage, the T90 was able to send and receive phone calls.  It had a clear easy to read screen.  Although I couldn’t test the full ability of the dust and splash resistant case, initial signs looked good with a fully sealed case, and seals around all the openings.

It wasn’t laden with features but it is a good phone none the less.  It had the dual cameras, one for photos and one for video conferencing.  A 2D barcode reader was a fun feature of the phone, it was a bit hard to operate, taking several attempts to “take the photo” to scan.  The minimal “extra” features did make it easy to use menus and navigate around the device.

The Address book allowed number to be listed with brackets around the area code but I was unable to dial these numbers directly from the address book until I removed the brackets.

Overall a good phone.  I look forward to testing the next phone.
