It incorporates a 1.3 megapixel camera, integrated MP3 player, MMS capability, hands-free speaker and bluetooth: features which Telstra notes are "much more than could be found on even the most advanced CDMA handset." Telstra Business Group managing director, Deena Shiff, said: “Telstra’s own communications technicians working in the field will be getting the Telstra 158. The handset will become part of their tool kit as we expect it will stand up well to the rigours of their work environments." The Telstra 158 retails for $649 or is available on a range of post-paid plans starting at $40 per month on a 24 month contract.{moscomment} |
