Live mobile TV will be broadcast to Nokia N92 mobile devices, and other DVB-H enabled devices, in a trial led by mobile network operators E-Plus, O2, T-Mobile and Vodafone this summer in a number of German cities. Guests of the mobile operators will be able to watch live TV programs, including the World Cup.
Nokia is extremely happy to be part of this DVB-H pilot during the football championships by offering the Nokia N92 devices. Nokia has been part of numerous DVB-H pilots around the world and this pilot is a very important milestone in moving closer to the commercial mobile TV phase
said Harri Männistö, director of Multimedia at Nokia.
During the trial, 14 TV channels (ARD, ZDF, Nord3, BR, RBB, RTL, Sat.1, ProSieben, n-tv, N24, VOX, MTV Music, Eurosport and a regional channel) and six radio channels are accessible live on the Nokia N92.
With the Nokia N92 device, one can set reminders to watch their favorite TV programs, create personal channel lists and subscribe to TV channel packages. The outstanding new form factor offers a highly ergonomic user-experience. The usability is further enhanced by the large 2.8″ anti-glare QVGA screen with 16 million colors and the dedicated media keys that deliver a rich viewing experience.
The Nokia N92, which is based on S60 3rd Edition and Symbian OS, is planned to be commercially available in mid 2006 in Europe, Africa and Asia, in countries where DVB-H services are available, with an estimated price of around €600.
