    I just got a call from o2, they were asking me if I wanted to take part in trials of their new video service.

    Basically what the woman on the phone said is that my name was selected at random and they were running trials where they would give you free access to news/sport headlines in video format (real one AFAIK) over GPRS for six weeks and after the six weeks they would contact me again for feedback.

    I obliged because it's free and there's nothing to lose, She said that she would send me out details and stuff in the post. As soon as I get the package in the post, I'll let everyone hear know what my first impressions.

    Did anybody else hear about this or has anyone else been phoned by o2 about this trial.

    By the way, I was probably chosen because I have a nokia 3650 and they have real player installed when you get them.

    it will work with any phone/device that realplayer supports. last time i saw this they had sky news streamed on it, it was actually quite viewable and the sound was clear, though it prohibitavely expensive as it was metered per kb ... but free is free ...

    there are more details in this thread on the Mobiles / PDAs board

    after they trialed it earlier in the year in the UK they launched it there last month - it is being charged 'per clip' rather than per KB (but they are running a free service until the end of Jan)

    supports multiple handsets in the UK including the P800 / P900 which doesn't have the RealPlayer...
