DISH Network Corporation and Alcatel-Lucent today announced that DISH Network will test the DVB-SH (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite services to Handhelds) mobile broadcast technology in the United States, with the appropriate DVB-SH equipment, test tools and training provided by Alcatel-Lucent. This evaluation will take place in DISH Network’s laboratories in Atlanta, Ga. from May to August 2008, with the ultimate objective to validate the performance and cost-efficiency of the DVB-SH standard.

DVB-SH is an evolution of DVB-H and a powerful mobile broadcast standard allowing cost-effective mobile TV deployments. It can be used in any frequency spectrum below 3GHz, including UHF, L band and S band, and in terrestrial, satellite or hybrid networks. The DVB-SH waveform definition was published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute(ETSI) in March 2008.

“As is our history, DISH Network continues to explore new, cutting-edge technology for consumer applications,” said Nolan Daines, senior vice president of Strategic Initiatives for DISH Network. “Considering the global momentum of DVB-SH, we decided that performing a critical analysis of this new open standard was the right thing to do for DISH Network. We look forward to working in tandem with Alcatel-Lucent during this testing phase.”

After introducing its cell phones to North America at the 2006 CTIA show, Alcatel has remained silent on exactly when its handsets would arrive here. But this weekend Locus Telecommunications and O2 Wireless announced they were adding the Alcatel OT-E206A and the OT-ET227A Alcatel to ...

Mobile-review have posted their review of the Alcatel Mandarina Duck phone. Here is the final impression. Impressions The volume of 64-chord polyphony is rather high (above the average), the phone rings loud enough just about in any environment. The silent alert power is a bit above the moderate. The reception quality is not the thing we would complain about. The Alcatel Mandarina Duck sells for around 150 USD, whereas its close sibling, the Alcatel C701 is priced only at 125 USD, the differ

It's hard to know where to begin in dismissing this telephonic atrocity. First, it's a prime example of the proliferating trend we refer to as luxury phones gone bad. As if that's not bad enough (and it is), this 24k "Signature Collection" handset from Alcatel ...

The Alcatel’s Playboy branded OT-V770a comes in a choice of colours pink, gold or silver and has the Playboy logo on it. This phone comes with a number of features including a 1.3 Megapixel camera, Media Player and Bluetooth 2.0. The Dimensions for this phone are as follows: 104mm x 52mm x 10mm Check out the video clip below

This is the Playboy OT-V770A cell phone from Alcatel; the phone was giving lots of attention at CTIA Wireless 2008 from onlookers and sexy women to keep up the Playboy image. Phones Review had been tipped about the release of a Playboy phone since the start of 2007 and months later had been wondering when it would see the light of day. The Playboy OT-V770A features a media player with full-screen video playback, microSD card slot, 10MB onboard memory, and 1.3-megapixel camera and will come

The beautiful lady in an Alcatel tank top, looks like a Playboy model and this is not a coincidence. Playboy definitely has something to do with the picture. The phone she is holding up - I know it’s difficult to move your eyes away from her, but try anyway - is the Alcatel OT-V770A or A.K.A the Playboy Phone. The Alcatel Playboy phone is available in Gold, Pink, or Silver metallic trim. It has a built-in 1.3 MP camera and 10MB of onboard memory. You can play videos on this phone on full-screen mode and I’ll hazard a guess, the video you’d likely watch on the Alcatel Playboy phone also has something to do with Playboy. I, myself, wouldn’t mind watching more of Miss Smiley above. On another note, this Alcatel phone may be the only Alcatel phone that you wouldn’t have to protect against muggers.

Alcatel OT E157 UK Mobile Phone Review

Alcatel might be associated with budget handsets such as the popular OT-E801, but we're increasingly impressed with the design and quality of its offerings. No longer are Alcatel's phones something you'd be ashamed of carrying -- they're phones you're going to want to show off. Take the Alcatel OT-V770 -- it's a slim, sexy-looking handset that's coming out next month and is going to cost under £50.

Apparently inspired by a duck's bill, is this phone more than just a fashion statement?
