Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Vodafone has become the first mobile operator in Australia to introduce the new BlackBerry Curve 8300 smartphone and is offering it at no charge to customers who sign up for its capped business plans and pay an additional $30 per month to receive unlimited emails.
The offer is available on the MyBusiness $49, $79 and $149 plans (but not the $99 plan). These, respectively, include $310, $550 and $1200 per month of standard voice, text and other services.
The 8300 can be used with corporate email services by organisations that install a BlackBerry Enterprise Server, or via the BlackBerry Internet Service for personal and corporate email accounts and most popular ISP email accounts.
The 8300 is the smallest and lightest full qwerty BlackBerry handset and, in addition to full BlackBerry functionality, provides a good range of features popular on high end consumer phones. It has a two megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. The camera can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared via email, MMS or Bluetooth.
It also includes the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software and the Roxio Media Manager for BlackBerry, developed with Sonic and based on the a Roxio Easy Media Creator 9. This allows users to search for media files on their computer, view and organise them, create MP3 music files from CDs, add audio tags, create playlists and automatically copy or convert pictures, music and videos.
The 8300 has a standard 3.5mm stereo headset jack and dedicated volume controls and is compatible with Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). It also supports expandable memory with a microSD slot.
