Get in!  That’s good news.  ROK’s TV service is now working with high spec Symbian 3 handsets such as the Nokia N71, N73, N80 and N93.

ROK TV’s patent-pending technology delivers video
streaming to mobile phones over mass-market 2.5G GPRS at a faster frame
rate than any existing 3G TV service.

ROK TV currently offers 21 channels and is available in the UK,
China and the USA. In the UK channels can be viewed individually for
99p per month or all channels for £9.99 plus network data charges.

I’ll be trying this out on my N73 and N93.  Here’s a snippit as to what to expect from ROK this year –

2007 will see ROK take further strides in the mobile TV
space, including plans to build and operate 30 white-label mobile TV
services over both 2.5G and 3G for selected mobile networks globally.

Bring it on.

Why no E series love? I don’t watch TV anyway so it’s not like I’m missing much. I’d rather install Orb on my PC and have access to content I know I’ll like.

If you are interested in such a service then I recommend you subscribe to Ewan’s blog, he covers the SMS and mobile sector very well.
