Virgin Mobile Lobster 700TV phone
October 30th, 2006 - Posted in Other
As for TV, the Lobster 700TV includes four stations - BBC1, ITV1, E4 and Channel 4. The first three are simulcasts, showing exactly what the respective TV transmissions receive. Channel 4, though, for now shows short made-for-mobile TV clips with the main channel expected to follow later.
Video quality was excellent when staying in one place, but occasionally the signal dropped or was out of sync, though the radio signal was more robust.
Of course, you’ll also want to use the phone for other things such as, you know, making calls, and the Lobster 700TV is perfectly good at this, too. It’s a smartphone, using Windows Mobile as its operating system, so it can also handle cut-down versions of Outlook among other programs. There’s a camera on board, but this is unexceptional at 1.3 megapixels.
