Finally. Mobile TV is a reality here in the Philippines. The DVB-H capable phones, NOKIA N92 and the new N77 has finally arrived in the Philippines. Legally.
Before you rush out, I heard that these phones are all locked. You can only use SMART SIM cards. It's really no big deal, though, since smart is the only carrier with DVB-H. You can obtain the phones at smart centers, either bundled with a postpaid subscription, or as a standalone phone. The price of the Mobile TV service is 400++ php per month. It isn't bad, same price as paying for your cable subscription at home.
The only downside to this is the scarcity of channels. There are few channels and the price cannot justify it, yet. If I were you, I'd wait for the channels to "multiply" so the price would be more more justifiable.
