the range of services we already offer like Media Messaging and the O2 Games Arcade and fully exploits the technology we have available today. We want to develop a range of communications and entertainment services that our customers really want and trials like this give us the opportunity to listen to our customers and get crucial feedback."
O2's Mobile Video trial aims to encourage experimentation with its range of services and will give trialists the unique opportunity to download or stream video content free of charge during the six week period. This trial will use some of the most advanced UK mobile phone technology through the latest mobile phones - the Nokia 7650, Nokia 3650 and the O2 xda.
During the six week Mobile Video trial period, O2 will showcase a range of services including the ability to create and send your own video clips. Using the built in camera of the Nokia 7650 and Nokia 3650, you can record up to 10 seconds of video and send it to another video capable phone or email address, using O2's existing Media Messaging service.
The trial will also offer the opportunity to browse, select and download video clips via a special trial WAP portal. The content providers will include Sky delivering regularly updated news, sport, weather and entertainment. Once selected, the clip will be 'streamed' or downloaded on to the customers mobile via the O2 mobile data network.
O2 is also leveraging its sponsorship of Arsenal football club and the England Rugby team. Arsenal fans will be able to get exclusive Arsene Wenger interviews and post match highlights whilst rugby followers will have access to footage of England rugby internationals.
Last month, O2 announced a trial the world's first 'music over mobile' service using existing mobile data (GPRS or 2.5G) technology. The O2 music service will enable customers to select, retrieve and store the latest chart hits via their GPRS-enabled mobile handset onto a specially designed 'digital music player' – and start listening in around 12 seconds. Starting in May 2003 in the UK and Germany, the music trials are expected to lead to the launch of a commercial service later this year. O2 is partnered by global brand MTV and the largest music providers in the world, including BMG, who will provide track listings for new chart releases as well as pre-releases

They're still working on it. Should be out within a month or so.
Ok so most people that have Comcast know about this app. I have seen the ipad commercial were the guy can basically use his ipad to change the dvr channels and record shows.
Does anyone know if they will be releasing the remote on the next update cause that would be another good reason not to get off the couch or go looking for your remote that your son threw 15 feet across the room.
Anybody else like the idea of using your vibrant as a remote for your tv?
I think overall its a good idea. I know the iPhone can be used with apple tv. For me, I'd rather stick with my harmony. I think eventually it will happen anyway, but for now I'm happy just to be able set a recording on my phone.
I do have a nice logitech eharmony remote I use, but I always have my phone next to me. If it could change channels with my phone, I'd definitely use the hell out of it.
Anything that you do must be through wifi/network connection. No infared which sucks, theres a whole lot you can do with that my ancient pocket pc's all had it not sure why theyve done away with it. although it might have been a contributing factor to why they were so brick like lol.

Harmony is def the best way to go. Comcast can be configured on web too right?.. like cablevision time warner and fios. You should try it that way.. or buy a harmony off of ebay.. even controls the xbox 360.

Well ill look into the harmony. But ive heard alot of rumors that the next update for xfinity app should give us access to the dvr part. Because if u load the app the dvr section or button is blanked out.. Can anyone confirm this might be useable with the next update? Cause thay would be awesome!
The dvr function is being rolled out to different areas at different times and you have to ask for a new dvr box. I asked at my local office (s. fla) they told me it wasn't available in my area yet. I too want the dvr function but it also brings caller ID to your tv screen.

Xfinity apps, the truth
Actually there are 2 apps. 1 is xfinity mobile (email, tv listings, on demand clips, dvr programming, the other is the xfinity tv app. It is the one that controls your cable boxes. It does not need wifi (exept on "pads") or infared, it needs merely an active mobile internet connection. Currently the xfinity mobile app is available on the android market and xfinity tv app is available only for for i-devices (yuck!), but will be released soon for android as well. Also in the future on demand video streaming will be available through the app.
I didn't know about the second one. So, would I be able to screw with my wife and randomly change the channel while im somewhere else
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Absolutely you would. I've done it with my ipod (using the wifi at another location) and my coworker with an iphone screwed around with his parents just for fun and it was hilarious. Lol! By the way, the my DVR option is active on my Xfinity Mobile app (Android app that will not control cable boxes). It shows my scheduled recordings and allows me to set new recordings from the tv listings. I have 2 dvr's and it lists each one seperately. I have named 1 living room and the other bedroom. It's a very nice feature and works very well. The other thing that the xfinity mobile app does that I don't see mentioned. If you have Comcast phone service, it brings callerid from your home phone over to your cell. If someone calls your home phone, you will receive a callerid notification on your android phone, and you can access a call log of your home phone calls as well as listen to your home voicemail. Great technology is a *****!
Yeah, I was gonna say, I have the app and I can set shows to record without a problem. I can do it online too, but obviously this is convenient as well.
Am I the only one that cringes a little when you have to say "Xfinity"?

Does anyone know an alternate way to install SVOX voice data?
en-US Grace
en-AU Olivia
en-UK Victoria
The svox.com servers appear to be down this week (month? year?) and svox.com now points to Nuance's website.
An email to their support goes unanswered.
-----
"Burlington, Mass. – June 16, 2011 –– Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN) today announced that it has acquired SVOX, a provider of voice solutions for in-car systems and consumer electronics. The combination of Nuance and SVOX’s innovations will advance the proliferation of voice in the automotive market, and accelerate the development of new voice capabilities that enable natural, conversational interactions between consumers and their connected cars, mobile phones, and other consumer devices."
A year ago... I'll update when I find out whose head to flick at Nuance about the dead servers.
Tell me the best apps (games or general apps) u have used in ur L920. Here are my 2 cents
skype
nimbuzz
facebook
yousendit
smartshoot.
Well i couldnt find much of good apps. If u found anything new, do comment below as everyone can try it.
Thanks..
what i use
it really says a lot when the best apps on my Windows Phone (Lumia 920) are the following:
Nokia Drive
Nokia Music
Photobeamer
Smart Shoot
All are made by Nokia and available for free.
Besides those I use the following a lot:
gMaps
Metrotube
Package Tracker
Tunein Radio
Only non Nokia one I really love would have to be Weave. Sexiest news reader out there.
Otherwise I use TuneIn, Though I wish it had a few more features such as tagging songs.
Oh and TripView for Sydney public transport is as excellent as the IOS and Android versions.
Frequently used:
Metro Tube
Nokia Maps -> Drive
Weave
Weather Flow
Nokia Music
Fhotoroom / Creative Studio
Photobeamer is one of the slicker things I've seen in a while.
Photofunia
Rhapsody
Weave
AP
Nokia Drive
WPCentral
Podcatcher
WeatherFlow
IMDB
UK Bus Checker
Ocado On The Go
Nokia Maps
There have been quite a number that I've enjoyed using so far travelling around the south of England.
By far and away, it's nokia maps and drive, but I've used NavigationShortcuts to pin destinations to the home screen.
Nokia city lense, and TripAdvisor are great for discovering what's around
ConnectivityShortcuts is my goto for turning on and off GPS, WiFi, and LTE.
Nokia Transport does a great job in London for replacing TFL.gov.uk, as does the UK Bus Checker
The microsoft Translator app works well going from french to english
I've enjoyed using Nokia Music for just some background music, and Tune-inRadio has ample internet radio lists
Primetube is a great free youtube viewer
What did I miss?
Connectivity Tiles - This is the best cellular, airplane mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth tile shortcut app I could find.
Weather (the MS one)
Notes - This app lets you add text into a live tile so you don't have to click anything to see your note.
WPCentral
IMDB
Newegg
Amazon
Paypal
AccuWeather and Met Office for weather info
XE best currency app
Facebook if poor on windows phone, I am sure it will improve
GPS toolkit for switching gps on and off
Settings tile for switch phone data, wireless, bluetooth and airplane mode on\off
Skype
Tripit
Tube map works well
Tunin Radio
And as said above, all the Nokia apps are great. love the maps and the transport app, but city lens and local scout are fabulous.
