MobiTV has been off my radar for a while – last time I checked it out, the content wasn’t compelling at all. But now, check out this channel lineup.

There are some serious heavy-hitters there.

What’s more is that Nokia is bundling their player with their newer phones.

It seems their subscription model is carrier-based. The good thing about this is that you can have it bundled in your data plan to take the edge off the cost. Sprint does this with their Power Vision plan. But if your carrier doesn’t offer it (like Verizon Wireless USA), then you’re SOL. Verizon USA has their V-Cast service, so my guess is that they see them as competition.

So let’s say you have Cingular and a Nokia 6682. You’re getting streaming video over EDGE speeds. I’m guessing that’s going to be less than 15FPS with some stuttering. Has anyone tried this? Are there any current Cingular phones that can carry this over UMTS?

Let’s step that up to Sprint with a Samsung A900 and EV-DO. Now you’re probably getting some decent video. I think Sprint rebranded the service as Sprint TV though.

So can anyone relate experiences with MobiTV? I have Verizon and a PocketPC, so I’ve got 2 strikes against me ever trying it. Am I missing anything?
