Virgin Lobster mobile phone with built in DAB and TV

Just picked one up for £29.99 as well. Just for the DAB!

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I admit, I don't want to read through the many pages of this thread.

What is the Bat life like? How many days will it go with fairly light telephone / text usage?

Does it run WM5 Apllications for smart phones.

Thanks

Tom

Battery life is good unless you use the TV, Radio or media player. Yes it runs WM5 applications, you may need to unlock it for some apps to run though

That's 'Application unlock' BTW, which is free and just requires you to do some mucking about with files - not the traditional sense 'SIM unlock' like with most mobiles.

Is there anyone here who live in Nottingham? I could do with some assistance in unlocking the phone. Could be face to face or over the phone. PM me if needed.

thanks

Hi there,

Stolen from HUKD - thanks HARLTZER, thought it would be good here.

Check out the post on HERE for two free sim cards for virgin pre loaded with £5 credit, ideal for popping into your lobby and getting another 90 days free license on the TV !!!!

Oh dear. Sorry to gravedig but it looks as if Virgin are pulling the plug on the tv service in January.

What happens if this goes ahead ? Our phones will be less than a year old and a large chunk of their functionality is going to be removed

If you bought a tv licence (as Virgin said we were supposed to), then you can cancel it and get a partial refund. They refund you for an unused quarter year.
