That's interesting. GSM coverage where there is no NextG.

Not looking good for Telstra's claim about NextG being more widespread
than its GSM or any other telco's networks, for that matter.

In some areas there is Optus GSM coverage where there is no NextG
coverage. Then I'm seeing GSM coverage where you'd think that there'd be
NextG.

Trouble is, when I'm travelling the phone's tucked away in the pocket, so
I can't easily see what the coverage is doing and when I was in this area
whether or not the 3G symbol was active on the phone.
