Virgin Mobile to Launch Lobster 700 on September

Filed in archive HTC , Smartphones , Windows Mobile by Rico Mossesgeld on August 5, 2006

Now instead of rear-ending a 10-wheeler because you had to answer a client's call, you can die from watching TV! Seriously though, Virgin Mobile's new Lobster 700 TV allows you to do just that-watch TV I mean.

Announced last February, this lobster is yet another HTC phone (a Trilogy to be exact) that shows TV streams on a 2.2" screen. Napster-protected WMA audio is also playable. This handheld isn't all fun and games though; business users will like its support for Blackberry push-email.

The Windows Mobile smartphone will be available this September from Carphone Warehouse.

Yeah, this "cancer" thing is ugly. Wonder which antenna is under the plastic. Regarding the Safari browser: you are getting the mobile version, not the desktop version. This is because of the auto redirect and unfortunately Safari identifies itself as "PPC" (Power PC) but I use PPC as identification for Pocket PCs. Have to get this fixed ASAP. However, a friend of me told me yesterday that with FireFox the site looks fine, also on an Apple. Maybe you want to check.
