Telecom NZ has announced an early launch of its Telecom XT 3G mobile network with services available to customers from 13 May. To support the launch of its new mobile service, Telecom is rolling out a new design and fit-out for retail stores that includes a slick new layout, interactive displays and wireless hotspots. Six stores will be open with the new design by launch day with twelve further stores to be refitted over the coming months. Telecom has also launched the W995 from Sony Ericsson. A sleek device with 8.1 mega pixel camera, Walkman music player and Outlook e-mail support, the W995 will be available to Telecom customers from July. Telecom has also announced the exclusive launch of the Samsung F480 touchscreen device available from now. Telecom will also provide New Zealand's overseas roaming service with international roaming to more than 206 destinations for voice calling and SMS and at least 110 destinations for mobile data. Telecom is investing over NZD 574 million in the new network over a two year period which reflects investment in the core network, retail stores and services, and extensive investment in fibre.
