Telstra HTC Desire
This the landing page for Kat’s posts relating to the Telstra HTC Desire.
The short story is that Telstra gave me a free phone to play with. In return, I’m going to use it, read with it and talk about it—the good and the bad. You can read my full disclosure here.
Disclosure
Telstra gave me a free HTC Desire and two weeks’ worth of free calls, messages and data. I also got a free trial of Mobile Foxtel for three months.
Telstra’s Social Reviewer Campaign runs from May 14 to May 29, 2010. Unless I specify otherwise, all my experiences with the phone during this time will be based on the pre-paid plans provided by Telstra. What I write here and on Twitter may also be used by Telstra in their campaign.
I’m not obliged to say positive things about using this phone. I want to be very explicit about this. Telstra stated clearly and repeatedly that they expect the social reviewers to express honest opinions about actual experiences.
At the end of Telstra’s Social Reviewer Campaign, I get to keep the phone, but the pre-paid calls and data expire. After three months, Mobile Foxtel automatically reverts to a monthly subscription.
After the Social Reviewer Campaign ends, I may end up posting further thoughts on the HTC Desire or its apps and functions, but they won’t be part of the Telstra campaign unless otherwise specified.
