This is all possible thanks to the technology of DAB-IP which means Digital Audio Broadcasting Internet Protocol which means also that you do not have to rely on 3G networks.

Got to be the best mobile i’ve ever had, its got all the functions you could ever wish for. Its like a mini PC running on Windows XP. DAB radio is fab. Lobster gets a big thumbs up from me!!!

I originally bought it because it was on a really cheap special offer and because it was a new gadget to play with.

But after using it, it really is a good phone and the dab radio is excellent.

Shame it doesnt have more internal memory though.

“this phone is very very crap”

The only “crap” thing round here is Bobby’s magnificent utilisation of the English language.

My mate just bought the 700TV from Bid Up TV. Initially I was dubious about many of the things being sold on that programme, but the quality of the phone is fantastic.

Also, MICRO SD is being sold in TECO’s ( 1GB £35:00 )

Can you unlock it to Vodaphone?
Will all the e-mail & MSN facilities work if I do?
