The trick is to make them cheaper. The Nokia N77 is the second phone from Nokia to come with an internal DVB-H antenna. This module allows you to receive a mobile television broadcast. So there really seems to be a market for mobile television as mid range phones such as these boast mobile television in the stead of a WiFi signal.

I guess phone users would find a better use for passive entertainment while on the commute. It does make sense. Between watching television on the train vs. surfing the net, I’d do the former. This is the couch potato generation of the modern day!

Perhaps the main feature of the Nokia N77 is the built in DVB-H for mobile television viewing. If my findings are right, running DVB-H straight will finish off your battery life in a matter of 6 to hours doing nothing else. The N77 is perhaps the “poor man’s” version of the higher end mobile TV phones such as the Nokia N92.
