Live DVB-H Nokia N96 Vlog: Demo TV
Amir from Phone Rush asked the questions while I captured it on video. You can basically watch live TV on your phone. Take a look. Additional video format: Web high resolution, Mobile DVB-H is one of the features on the Nokia N96. The 2.8 inch screen is enough to to satisfy. My phone has it for video-calling… but I can’t use it in the US. I think only a half dozen countries can broadcast mobile TV. On a positive note, the Nokia N96 will have a built-in 16gb of storage plus an expandable microSDHC card slot. Before the Nokia N96 DVB-H (live TV on your phone) demo at the Mobile World Congress Nokia booth, the the stand staff said, “Please don’t play around with it too much.” I’m sorry, but I haven’t seen anything like it and I know I won’t any time soon. The only problem is that it is not widely available. I’ve read about DVB-H on the internet and devices capable of showing live TV. By the time the Nokia N96 comes out, we will probably have up to 32GB cards for a total of 48GB of storage. It looks great on the Nokia N96.
