Reading the "Mobile Phone Plan" page I still reckon it doesn't come with a handset, though that may just be the site being exceedingly unclear. The typical deal with Telstra and handsets is that each handset will have an "MRO" price attached (the amount you'll pay per month to get it), and then the plans have an "MRO allowance".
So if your plan has a $20 MRO allowance and the handset you want has a $30 MRO, you pay an additional $10 over and above the plan fee.
I do understand what you mean about the family/genus/species problem, but I'm pretty sure this was true of the previous version of the site too. And on that it was also a lot harder to find out just how much you'd pay for a particular handset+plan combination until you got to the checkout...
