gk172

Hi Im looking at 2 phones come upgrade time and they are so similar one has DVB-H tv broadcast reciever and the other has tv-out but what is the differance and can any of these functions be used in the uk?

Also they both have wifi on them, how will that be best used? I dont really understand if i can connect via the phone what differance is there to connecting via wifi or have i missed something as im not a great online surfer from my phone:rotfl:

Please can some kind person help so that i can make the most out of my new phone when i get it;)

Why don't you simply search for these features e.g. DVB-H tv broadcast receiver

Also they both have wifi on them, how will that be best used? I dont really understand if i can connect via the phone what differance is there to connecting via wifi or have i missed something as im not a great online surfer from my phone:rotfl:

So why bother then?

Read the user manual when you get it.

DVB-H is the mobile device equivalent of DVB-T it is the standard (there were three mobile formats) format for mobile devices. It simply means you can receive tv signals.
TV out means that the device has a connector to enable you to see images/video on a tv with the appropriate cable.

It would depend what you want to do with the device. Can you tell us what make and model they are?

I don't understand what you are asking re WiFi

Some phoines now have WiFi wich means if you're in a place with Wifi access you can connect to that and connect to the web that way instead of via the normal phone network. You can usually make calls over the WiFi connectiona s well which is a lot cheaper than normal.

I find that a bit unecessary and sarcastic -
it was a straightforward question . most of the questions on this forum can be found if you look long and hard enough on search engines - but you have to word the search correctly.
as for the manual - not all manuals that come with the phone are that explicit about every feature. my new phone has loads of features which arent mentioned in the manual.

if you have a problem with the question then why bother answering at all?

I thank you for your time in answering but ask whats happened to these boards I came on asking a few techie questions that i didnt understand and hoped that some 'kind' person could explain the differance as i have looked before posting but still didnt understand the techie stuff.

As for the wifi this function is new to me and if there is any benefit to using it i would like to know and hoped someone could maybe give me reason to use wifi rather than 'so why bother then' and asking questions beforehand could sway whether it would be the nokia N96 or N85.

I provided a link that explains what a DVB-H tv broadcast receiver is, showing just how easy this information is to find yourself, did you even click on it? TV out, as stated previously simply means that the handset has a TV out connector, so that it can be linked up to a TV set. WiFi is a generic term that you could easily research, having this on your new handset may be useful to you but that depends on you and your lifestyle!

Yes of course i clicked the link and many others and while i was being lazy i found that the DVB-H wont work here for some time if it comes here at all so therefore is not a deciding factor.

At least you admitted to being lazy!
