ORB on three mobile broadband

jimmycrackcorm

Has anyone gotten orb to stream to their phone using mobile broadband on three?
If not which shop is the best to go ask for a demo trying it on a phone e.g. Carphone warehouse?

I have Orb working on my windows mobile device on 3. Didn't try it on my Nokia handset yet.

The bandwidth doesn't seem to be good enought to watch tv or video streams (they work but are too jumpy to watch) but is ok for audio. I am assuming it is a 3G bandwidth issue as when I connect to the net over my wifi I get smooth video playback.

so if one where to get a nokia n95 with the new fangled broadband thing HSPDA or whatever, would this work with orb perfectly? actually, will 3 allow you to use their unlimited broadband option on the HSPDA connection rather then bog standard 3G??

Just ordered an N95 myself. But of course I'll have to buy another three phone just to get the mobile broadband. I'm hoping the HSPDA will be better than the 3G speed. The minimum effective streaming for ORB seems to be 512kbps as it works fine for me over the internet with a good 512 upload capacity. WIFI on the lan is perfect on my PDA.


leahcim, are you on billpay or prepay?
