The Nokia N92: TV Goes Mobile


Nokia this month introduced the world’s first integrated DVB-H mobile device. The N92 is the latest phone to take move the world’s phone makers toward the realization of the “Third Screen” of interactivity (the First Screen being the TV and the Second Screen being the computer).
The N92 will provide access to TV programs on the go. Among its feature list are the following:
the ability to create reminder lists of favorite TV programs
subscription services to TV channel packages
2.8 inch anti-glare QVGA screen with 16 million colors and dedicated media key
electronic service guide (think “TV Guide”)
web browser
music playback with 2 GB memory card support
built-in stereo speakers
2 megapixel camera
Symbian OS
The availability of the Nokia N92 is limited to Europe, Asia and Africa where DVB-H services are available.

The Nokia N92 is the first in a range of products bringing together the rich experience of conventional broadcast TV with the connected experience of mobility to create a new category - mobile TV,” said Richard Sharp, Vice President of Rich Media at Nokia. “We are confident that mobile TV will be an exciting new service for consumers, as well as generate new opportunities for innovation and growth in the mobile and media industries.”
The Nokia N92 has four different modes for simple and easy usage. The new view mode is especially designed for watching TV and video. To start watching mobile TV*, users simply need to open the Nokia N92 in view mode and press the Multimedia key. The Electronic Service Guide (ESG) contains information about the available TV channels, programs and services. Other mobile TV features include watching time of up to four hours, recording and 30 seconds replay.
The cellular connectivity means people can interact with the TV, through services such as voting, program feedback and additional web discovery. Further, the Nokia N92 supports the new Nokia Web Browser with Mini Map, which provides a semi-transparent zoomed-out view of a web page that enables users to quickly orient themselves on a small screen. With an overall view of the web page, users can intuitively navigate to all corners of it as well as see the web page as it was originally designed.
The Nokia N92 is also an XpressMusic device, with up to 2 GB memory card support, offering storage for up to 1500 songs delivered through the built-in stereo speakers or a stereo headset. The entertainment experience is further complimented by FM radio with Visual Radio support*. Additional Nseries features include 2 megapixel camera for print-quality photos and email attachment support.
The Nokia N92 provides a rich range of connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, infrared, Bluetooth wireless technology as well as USB 2.0 (Mass Storage Class), which allows users to connect the Nokia N92 directly to a compatible PC for quick and convenient file transfers or downloads.
