Another review of Virgin Mobile Lobster 700 published October 05, 2006 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. This Lobster smartphone is just amazing: digital TV and digital radio - both based on DAB broadcasting technology (not cellular) - available in one mobile phone! The headset serves the purpose of antenna: A side effect of this is - as with conventional FM radio equipped handsets - an antenna is required to pick up the signal, and this is the headset. Therefore whether you are listening through the headphones or using the loudspeaker, the headset must always be plugged in. It also remains to be seen what impact this will have on using 3rd party headsets. Finally, it means A2DP Bluetooth headsets will never be ideal for this application. So how do you launch the TV / Radio application on the device? In one of 3 ways! You can hit the dedicated 'TV' button on the right hand side 'bulge', Click on the TV homescreen plugin, or select the 'TV & Radio' option in the Start Menu. When you do so, the application is launched with a short DAB / Movio splash screen, before you are introduced to the first-use configuration. At this point, the device will scan for TV and Radio channels. A large number of Radio Channels are available (the exact availability depends on your location), TV currently consists of BBC1, C4 Short Cuts, E4 and ITV1.
