Minus is that to view the broadcast does not fit any device that requires a hardware unit. So, if you want to please myself watching TV, have to buy a new phone.

The market now has two models of phones with support for DVB-H. About Samsung SGH P960 we mentioned in one of the last issues. It's time to get acquainted with another innovation -. Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition. As is the case with Samsung, the phone is a vertical slider with a screen. 2.4 inches. Basically, if you forget the words of TV Edition in the model name, 5330 is the first device is quite standard middle segment, has all the usual features for these devices. However, we can note a small bias towards multimedia component. Headset jack lets you connect standard headphones, but on the side of the device are the keys to control the player. In addition, the number of supported audio formats the phone can compete with player.

As for filling software, the phone is responsible for the work platform S40 6th Edition, and many users will find no difference between it and the platform from previous audits. So much more interesting than stuffing steel. Here we are offered a standard set of features without which a modern phone is difficult to imagine: there is support for Bluetooth, FM- radio reception, nick, 3- megapixel camera with flash. Externally device looks quite decent, comfortable in the hand, parts of the body does not crackle and backlash. The only exception - a small play keyboard.

And if the street or in a car with no problems playing the video, the indoor mobile TV services can not enjoy in each apartment, and not to any room. Before the first search channel, we had to go to the window, and for viewing to remember ... Although digital broadcasting, and is not subject to ... In poor reception picture freezes from time to time, covered with artifacts, if not stopped. Speaking of image quality. To him, with good reception, no complaints. On a small phone screen ( 320 x 240 pixels ), the details can be seen quite clearly. For example, you can easily read the text in the news ticker.

The built-in TV receiver generates legitimate question: how many hours is enough battery capacity of 1000 mA • h, located in the phone. Despite the relatively small ( by modern standards ) capacity, he has shown very good results: a fully charged phone turned on ... However, in the last half hour of screen brightness decreased by half. Apparently, to save energy balances.

And now the bad news. Since June, when ours went ... Price devices still quite high (. Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition. the average cost 7000 rubles. ), For the sake of a few channels to sacrifice quite a large sum of.
