Telstra, an Australian telecommunications company offering Internet access, cable television, landline telephony and mobile telephony services, is going to get for its customers the Motorola RAZR MAXX V6, a mobile phone waited so long by so many people all over the world. Whatever plans you may have to get this beauty, it seems that the only one that will remain standing are those that also include Australia.

The MAXX will have features that will surely satisfy every Telstra customer and if you will get this phone in the same day that Santa is emptying his bag of goodies, there will be one more thing to be happy about as you have the occasion of enjoying it all by yourself (I would).

The list of features begins with a pair of digital cameras, a 2 megapixel one and a VGA for video calls, continues with a 262k colors QVGA main display, an integrated music player, a 50 MB built-in storage capacity, wireless Bluetooth, GPRS connectivity and a hands-free speaker phone, ending with some of the Next G specific network services like the BigPond Mobile Music, Sensis Search, BigPond Photos, Whereis Maps and BigBlog.

Don't think that I haven't wondered myself "why Australia first?". I did that the first time I heard about it and it is still troubling me. But leaving the self inquiries aside, the people that have kangaroos in their back yard are going to get their hands on it first and until this cell phone will be available in other parts of the world, we'll just have to read what they think about it and wait some more.
