I just switched to Telstra, (after much soul searching) but 3hrs west of Mackay there is little choice! :/ To compensate this i rewarded my self with a Velocity 4G and to say impressed is an understatement. Outback i get 12Mbs in the middle of nowhere and in Brisbane 12-40Mbs. Even tho the 4G area is smallish the dual channel HSPA makes up for it. My home DSL2+ is only 4Mbs in a suburb of Brisbane.
I will however root this handset like i did to the Desire HD a few months ago, to rid of the bloat ware,, is there a decent ROM available yet? and is it as easy as the Desire HD to do?
I found this rom really good, I don't like the at&t based roms, this one is based on the Telstra rom (has correct icons for 2G/3G/Hsdpa/LTE and also a proper working LTE toggle for batter saving) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1613333
