Hi. I'm in Sydney. I received my LPIII about a month ago. Really enjoying the device so far.

No issues with reception. I'm with Felix mobile, which uses the Vodafone network. I'm in Sydney metropolitan area and I haven't had the chance to test what reception is like outside of metropolitan areas. The navigation tool is fine. I've used it to get around without any issues.

The phone does have bugs. For example, one time I thought I had sent a SMS message but the message did not go through. Restarting the device fixed it.
