  please note "5" after Samsung Galaxy and don't confuse or compare with SG2, or SG3.

  Teltra Galaxy 5 appears to be i5503T
  http://www.samsung.com/au/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone...
  ?? same as i5500 except the dual band 3G HSPA data connection frequencies are 850 and 2100 instead of 900 and 2100 - so no good for using data on the much cheaper Optus network.

  I can't see advantages of this over the Huawei X3.
  - just a better battery life - but could be due to inferior feature set and smaller screen.
  - does it have Gorilla glass?? (X3 screen scratches very easily - so don't use without screen protectors: $2.35 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/160815498583?ssPageName=STRK:MEWN... )

  smaller, lower resolution screen;
  may not have Flash

  The LG Optimus Spirit at $49 from Coles seems to compare better too. Gingerbread 2.3 vs Eclair 2.1 also - http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4043&idPhone2=...

  I'd buy the LG - the galaxy 5 drops out and will not connect in a lot of places my old Nokia had no problem with. Must be different quality components than other samsung?
