"First Review: Telstra's Rural Mobile Phone"

By Mendelson Tiu | Published:2007-11-13

Telstra takes Next G to the great outdoors with its new 165 ‘Country Phone’. This handset promises greater reception in rural areas, incorporates a tough design, and will definitely fit the lifestyle of the outdoor tradesman.

At first glance, the Telstra 165 looks similar to the first GSM phones, with the unit sporting a robust candy bar design and an extendable antenna for getting signals in those ‘dead spots'. A closer look at the unit, however, reveals various functions and features that can be found on any other 3G phones in the market.

Users may be able to find a secondary camera above the phone's screen for 3G video calls in addition to its 2 mega pixel camera at the back of the unit. The keypad below the screen has a dedicated Foxtel, Bigpond, Back, and Clear keys for ease of use, as well as five-way navigation keys that have various shortcuts to menus and can be used to move around the main menu. In addition, a photo button and volume control buttons can be found on the unit's left side, while a microSD card slot can be found on its right. There is also a USB port found at the bottom of the unit for charging the unit or for connection with the PC.
