Telstra EasyTouch Discovery T2

The Telsta T2 is based on the same operating system as the other Telstra/ZTE models so expect the same experience. However it has been designed to target people who are upgrading from older mobiles non-3G mobiles or those who this is the first mobile phone.
The operating system has been given a new ‘theme’ without flashy graphics. It reminds me of the Nokia’s of the late 90’s. The simplified menu system has been redesigned with large and easily recognized icons for the various features. Although it does look simple all the basic features of a standard mobile phone is available. The simplicity is only surface deep because there are quite a number of other menus that aren’t all that simple to use after the in initial one.
Based on a clam-shell or flip phone the construction is best described as sturdy. It is not flashy to look at and a bit toy like. It is much better than the older T7 though. Based on our other Telstra phones it will probably be reliable though. The keys are big so that it is easy for the less dexterous to use. The screen is a standard 2.4 inches although they would like us to think this is large for a phone – it isn’t. Strangely it has a smaller battery than the other models.
The functionality offered by the phone is no different from the other related models so you get all the basics for voice and video calls, texts, music, pictures, contacts, calendar, FM radio and internet. You have to purchase other apps to get more interesting stuff. Like the other phones in the Telstra/ZTE product range the web browser is next to useless on all but the Telstra WAP site.
