HTC Monet Becoming the Virgin Lobster DAB Phone

Virgin have released for their customers the HTC Monet, under the name Virgin Lobster, which will be responsible for running the TV content provided in the UK by the first full TV mobile technology, through the Virgin DAB television service.


Unfortunately for them, it seems this handset is not such a good choice for this kind of task, because people that have already tried it say it has big problems with signal locking, a fact that could make it a paper weight for the future Virgin customers enchanted by the idea to be able to watch their TV shows on the move (I suppose the constant breaks in signal could be some kind of attempt from Virgin to make their users less dependent on television... Or, maybe NOT!).


The Lobster handset will be available for the UK users for 25 £ with service agreement, and the DAB television service will be free for the first three months of use, and then will be priced with 5 £ tax per month.
