As much as I love SE phones, their memory's ridiculously expensive.]]>Jan 19th 2007 12:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/
When are these guys - who make (IMHO) the world's best phones - going to create something cool that will work here in 'merica?]]>Jan 19th 2007 12:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/Jan 19th 2007 1:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/Jan 19th 2007 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/Jan 19th 2007 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/Jan 19th 2007 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/
It is. This is a fairly common feature on Japanese phones.

btw, there are also Aquos phones in Japan. Seems like all the big TV makers are now trying to get their brand names on phone screens.

"Thats going to be one gimongous phone."

Most Japanese phones are quite large by western standards. They've accepted the tradeoff of size for features. These are not disposable gadgets that you carry around in your pocket.

It didn't used to be that way, but things started shifting around 6-7 years ago. Japanese phones used to be extremely small, but nowadays the average Japanese phone is probably twice as volumous as the average US phone. The trend has been to add more features and better the specs, not make the phones smaller or thinner. Pretty much the opposite of here.

It should be noted that NTT DoCoMo is changing their GSM signals to be 100% compatible with US GSM in the very near future. So expect newer Japanese phones like these to come to the US, they already have an agreement with AT&T.

Second, yes, microSD. Previous Sony phones accepted either miniSD or MemoryStick Duo. This one is microSD only, it seems.

Third, it's not NTSC or ATSC, it receives 1seg broadcasts. Many phones here in Japan can view 1seg broadcasts.

Finally, phones are not required to receive tv broadcasts here. That's just ridiculous.]]>Jan 19th 2007 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/19/sony-ericssons-so903itv-bravia-mobile-gets-real/
