Last year I watched CNN on a 3G phone when Vodacom in Cape Town(Century City) invited me to attend the trials... For a minute it looked nice but would hate to watch it for more than 5 minutes. If they can have short streaming video clip for news and sports highlights I think it would be good...not a whole 30 min bulletin.

So will vodacom live be available on 2.5g too? So voda sponsor for rugby so they night stream the rugby life and for free. Or they can, but will they? Thats the question. And what about tv licence issues. As im sure that will come up sometime.

No TV license needed.You can stream rugby or any sports via Super Sport and you can do it right now.It does have short clips.In other Vodafone countries they are streaming latest movies that are in the circut for free.Thats why i said in my previous post WAIT FOR THE SHARP 902 because it comes with the video cable that plugs in your video jack on your TV.Stream all the content on your TV.Dont have to watch it on phone.The Sharp 902 is only 3G phone that has a 2 mega pixel with an optical ZOOM and is an VODAFONE EXCLUSIVE.I like the red Ferrari one which is on the Esato site.The non Ferrari branded is comming to SA for SURE.

Please guys don't get your hopes up about being able to stream live tv...if there's a loophole SABC will make sure it gets shut. That means you'll pay for being able to receive a tv signal.

That's why I contend that viewing anything on a cellphone screen should not be for longer than 5 minutes.

@Tahir: Thanks for another bit of useless info. Am I the only one getting of all this unbalanced info? No matter all their marketing campaigns and hype Vodacom will have to convince their non-business subscribers to switch to 3G. And no, I don't work for either MTN or Cell C.
