Playing around with Nokia’s N92 TV Phone

Nokia

Mobile Burn got to play with the N92 from Nokia, a TV cell phone.

Last week in New York I had the chance to play around with Nokia’s new N92, their N90′ish DVB-H TV capable handset. The unit in the photos here was picking up a live signal from a transmitter in the hotel (photo on the next page). We were able to watch CNN and a number of other channels on it. The image quality was quite good.

The pre-production unit we were using had most of the basic functionality working, as you can see, but did have a few issues. The channel selection list didn’t show complete information, for one, and there were delays when switching from TV to camera mode. But overall, everything worked.

That is pretty neat, but is it only over-the-air channels that it can pick up, or are they going to be transmitting the info over cell towers to all those with the phone? Will people want to watch television on such a small screen? I think Apple already proved that they do.
