Live from CeBIT: Siemens Prototype DVB-H Phone

Siemens is also showing off about a half-dozen of these DVB-H prototype phones, which as far as I can tell are just barely working (the DVB satellites aren't up yet for Korea, I've heard, but is Europe even getting DVB? I should start actually talking to these people instead of eating their fish). No plans to commercialize these yet, of course, but they're making a big deal of them. I have this feeling that TV on phones will be much more practical with the DVB solutions instead of trying to stream stuff over the networks.

Press Release (Third paragraph.) [Siemens]

Update: Apparently DVB has already launched in Germany. Plus, Janne writes:

Just to clarify. Europe has DVB in use as S, T and C formats. And at least here in Finland (Helsinki area) we have test broadcasts with the DVB-H. Just this weekend tested the Nokia 7710 phone with DVB-H receiver and it was very impressing.
