johnr: fahrenheit: johnr, so thats confirmation then? Are they black, grey, or both? Are they the same as what Telstra Australia are selling or different bands for NZ? I can't see any reference to them on the VF site (yet). Here is 3G DC speedtest done on the S3 Dual carrier i9305 walking around the Viaduct yesterday That's not too shabby...

wakaridnnz: I'm jealous! no update from Telecom yet.... baa humbug!! Hey can you let us know the size of the OTA update once it's all done, cheers. 337MB Chorus has spent $1.4 billion on making their ADSL broadband network faster. Why not spend a couple of hundred to make sure you are getting the most out of your connection? Geekzone special price: $150* for master splitter install, normally $200+ through your ISP. Auckland and Waikato areas. *Travel charges may apply. Additional costs may apply for complex installs. I install - Naked DSL, DSL Master Splitters, VoIP, RBI Rural Broadband. Also a dealer for WorldxChange. Need help in Auckland or Waikato? Click my email button, or email me direct: [my user name] at geekzonemail dot com
