Nokia has just announced the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition, an entertainment hub that combines mobile broadcast TV (DVB-H), social networking, music and gaming in one 3G device. With mobile broadcast TV consumption on the rise – it’s expected that by 2012 there will be over 300 million people worldwide watching TV on their mobile phones – this handset is designed to offer access to anyone wanting to enjoy a live, on-the-move TV experience.
Nokia vice president Mark Selby said, “The introduction of the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition responds to the arrival of DVB-H broadcast mobile TV networks in new markets and offers an affordable device for new and existing customers alike. Customers are increasingly watching a variety of programmes on their mobiles, such as drama programs, news and sport, for a longer period of time. The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition has the sound and image quality to hold audiences captive.”
The handset features -
- a 2.1-inch TFT LCD with a QVGA display resolution
- DVB-H technology
- 3G (HSDPA), EDGE/GPRS
- Bluetooth with A2DP, USB 2.0
- 3.2 megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom and LED flash
- 3.5mm handsfree
The handset can also set reminders for favorite shows and create personal channel lists with Nokia’s Electronic Program Guide (EPG) for a tailored mobile broadcast TV experience. The company also claims that the handset would offer a long battery life providing up to six hours of DVB-H usage; enough time to watch three football matches – or six episodes of a soap opera – before recharging.
The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV edition is also compatible with Nokia’s innovative Comes with Music service. It’s also ready for the avid social networker with Ovi Contacts, Facebook, MySpace and YouTube preloaded. Users can also post status updates for friends and family to follow or instant message (IM) them via Windows Live Messenger, Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, ICQ, AOL and others.
Nokia and Nokia Siemens Networks work with more than 30 operators worldwide on Mobile TV implementations. Commercial launches with Mobile TV services based on DVB-H and OMA BCAST standards include Austria, Finland, Ghana, Kenya, India, Italy, Namibia, Nigeria, Netherland, Philippines and Switzerland. Additional commercial launches can be expected during the next 12-18 months in more than 20 countries.
The Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition will retail for Rs. 10, 700 (155 Euros) before taxes and subsidies.
