After what appears to have been weeks of delays, it appears that information can now finally be confirmed on Telstra’s 4G Windows Phone launch of the HTC Titan II. Whilst the media this week has been focused on the local launch of Nokia’s flagship Lumia 900 and entry-level Lumia 610, the prior Telstra advertised ETA of “early May” has passed us all by with no news. Following a reader tip-off earlier today, WPDownUnder can now confirm the ETA retail supply dates and FIRM contract pricing for what will be Australia’s only 4G Windows Phone.
This week Harvey Norman have uploaded a new Nokia Lumia 800 infomercial as part of their regular “Geek Saturday” Tech product series. The brief 3min video touches on some of the features of the Lumia 800 running Windows Phone and highlights the build quailty of the Nokia device.

It’s not often Windows Phone stories of this magnitude break Down Under. Apollo leaks? Lumia 900 launch? Microsoft & Nokia partnership? Top-end of Town WP7 Development? Bigger than these! Today we are pleased to report on a story that Aussie WP7 owners, enthusiasts and prospective purchasers absolutely need to see. The sort of story that cuts to the heart of the WP7AU community…a story so big that even WPDownUnder was unable to fit any details of it into this opening article paragraph!
This is an exciting moment for WPDownUnder. It’s not everyday we get guest contributors here. And it is certainly not everyday we get the sort of quality and calibre of these next 3 guest posters. Raised proudly by a gamer (much to Mrs WPDownUnder’s eternal despair) to be true gamers - “The Mob” as WPDownUnder affectionately calls them are debuting online with their first ever game reviews. That’s right – with kind thanks to Microsoft and the XboxAustralia team, the WPDownUnder home-office has had the opportunity to road test two of the latest XBL titles; ”The Splatters” and “Fez”.
