You may have heard it called the "BT Movio" or the "HTC Trilogy". This will fit nicely into the new range of Virgin Lobsters including the 485 and the recently announced 575. This works differently to existing "TV on your mobile" handsets and doesn't grab pictures from a 3G data stream. The Lobster 700 will receive it's pictures over DAB and, according to the Carphone Warehouse catalogue, it'll be available next month."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20060803-Lobster.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/><br /><br />Perhaps it's just me, but I think the name Lobster would have done better if they had actually stayed with the original red that they had on the <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=10368">pre-production units.</a> Oh well, what are you going to do. No word on this device coming to this side of the pond. If we hear anything, we'll let you know. ;)

Lobster, eh? The name might work better if the device had a few extra humps and bumps, and a set of antennae. ;)
