If you scroll back through this evening’s tweets, you will see a suggestion regarding something called the Santakini. It may well happen.

That said, I may choose to interact while on the train and then the railbus, while batteries last.

Preparing to leave the city and return to the Mountains. If you tweeted something important at me, try again tomorrow.

@gregorylent @gnoll110 @Telstra Nearly every telco refers to monthly data. If I were running a telco I wouldn’t roll them over either.

@mdennedy Just for that, if I do this fundraiser than I’ll send you a postcard regardless. “Swoon”, not so much.

Anyway, if that’s Telstra’s message today, then I assume that the Microsoft Lumia 830 is what I’ll have my hands on this evening.

4GX speeds on a phone are all well and good, @Telstra, but they’re useless if you don’t allow more data on a plan before money-haemorrhage.
