Hmmmm, watch 'TV' on a 2 inch screen or watch TV on my 42 inch Plasma.

You cant watch TV on the train with a 42 incher can u!

Not bad for a first. Altho I'd rather wait for the nokia N92.

I also dont see why it should be a subscription based service since all the channels are free to air so long as you have a TV licence. If i'm correct this handset does not stream the TV stations over the net so making it a premium service is an absolute rip off.

@dave...

The Nokia N92 will never be released as it was a test platform for the networks and wasnt meant for consumer release.

The mobile is specifically for using whilst you are on the move. I have got one and get some good use out of it. On the way to work in the morning to catch up with the news and in the football with the rolling results service. Great Stuff !!! Sometimes if your in a low DAB frequency area it can lose reception but I am overall impressed. Windows Mobile 5.0 and BBC, ITV and E4 on the move is great !

@ Jonnyg

The N92 is already listed as coming soon on the carphone warehouse website. Some are listed on Ebay, and have been sold with good feedback. It's also listed along with all the other Nseries phones on the nokia website.
The release may have been delayed, but theres certainly no information to say that it was never going to be released.
