As our phones continue to become less phones and more mobile entertainment devices, having TV on a cellphone does seem like the next logical progression. But there's something about it that still feels a little space-age, when you're standing in the queue at Pick n Pay watching Cartoon Network (with everyone behind you thinking you're crazy).

The Nokia 5330 is the first phone in SA that offers DVB-H streaming (i.e. you're not downloading data as though you were downloading YouTube videos, you're actually streaming it just like to your real TV). This means it's cheap because there's no bandwidth costs, and it's immediate so you can catch the characters on Big Brother Africa snogging in real time.

I haven't actually had a real TV for 6 years now, so I'm interested to see whether a truly portable one is going to re-convince me that it's a good idea. At first glance, I'm impressed by how easy the whole process is with the Nokia 5330: mobile TV is one of the primary menu functions and the whole thing takes less than 2 minutes to set up for the first time. The TV quality has been very impressive so far (provided you can get a good signal) and there's enough choice on the 9 (or 10) DStv Mobile channels for you to find something you're likely to enjoy.

Apart from the mobile TV functionality, it's a pretty basic (although solid) Nokia. It's definitely aimed at teens and young adults rather than working professionals, with most of its functions being around music, video and social networking.

There's a lot of T's and C's, restrictions and other details involved – but I'll tell you about these over the next couple of weeks. Now please excuse me, I have some errands to do and some Ben 10 to watch.
