I currently carry two Mobile phones, one for work (Optus) and my own (3 Mobile).  Up until now I've been using two of my own 3G handsets with both SIM cards; a Nokia 6120 Classic and a Nokia E51.

3 only offer 3G coverage on the 2100MHz band, with a fall-back to Telstra's 2.75G (EDGE) network when outside of Metropolitan areas.

Optus have also only offered 3G on the 2100MHz band within Metro areas with a fall-back to their own 2.5G (GPRS) network, that is until recently.  In the last couple of months Optus have been rolling out their new rural 3G coverage, but like Telstra's rural coverage it will not be using the 2100MHz band.  To futher complicate things, rather than using the 850MHz band Telstra uses in the bush, Optus and Vodafone have chosen to use the 900MHz band.

Both of my phone handsets are dual-band UMTS with 2100MHz/850MHz support.  This means they work great on all of Telstra's network but only within Metro areas on everyone elses.
