Nokia N92 expected soon in Asia

Reuben Lee | Nov 08, 2006

It's taken forever, but hopefully all good things come to those who wait. Nokia's much-anticipated DVB-H-enabled TV-phone, the N92, is at last approved to roll out in Asia. However, some of us will have to wait a wee bit longer. Vietnam and Indonesia will be the lucky first in the region to get the N92. According to news reports, a Nokia spokesperson has confirmed the handheld device will begin shipping in the two countries in the coming weeks. The Vietnam Multimedia Corporation is reportedly offering up to eight TV and four radio channels for its DVB-H service come November 18.

The N92 was originally scheduled to launch in mid 2006, but was thwarted by the need to wait out the commercial rollout of the networks in the region before shipping the phone.

Touted by Nokia as the world's first mobile device with a built-in DVB-H receiver, the N92 can be used to watch and record live TV on-the-go. It also comes with onboard 802.11g Wi-Fi, a 2-megapixel camera, 16 million-color display, miniSD card slot and 3G connectivity.
