Finally entering into the realm of reality, TV phones are set to descend upon Europe this summer - and we scoured CeBIT 2006 for the ones that will let you take your telly to go.
Nokia N92 hands-on impression
Can't live without your favourite programming? Fret not; Nokia's N92 TV phone shows DVB-H transmissions on the go and in glorious high-resolution on its superb 2.8-inch display, complete with impressive audio quality and the ability to record live TV. The clamshell design opens both ways to reveal landscape and portrait use modes as well as an unusual yet comfortable keypad, also harbouring a decent 2 Megapixel camera; Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth for stereo audio streaming or providing 3G connectivity to laptop users.

Samsung SGH-P910/P900 hands-on impression
We're all skeptic towards mobile TV after witnessing the jerky images delivered by first-generation services - but Samsung's SGH-P900 and SGH-P910 TV phones might just get it right. Rather than streaming video across a 3G network, the two handsets rely on slightly different takes on a digital TV broadcast standard known as DMB. Demonstrated here at CeBIT, the SGH-P910 displayed DMB-H with aplomb while the SGH-P900 - due out in the second quarter - couldn't even get DMB-T reception; we'll reserve final judgment for when proper coverage is in place, but preliminary results are nevertheless stunning.

LG V9000 hands-on impression
Following in the footsteps of Samsung's SGH-P900 and SGH-P910, the rather obese LG V9000 is equipped with a high-resolution, 2.2-inch slide-up screen which swivels into landscape mode for DMB-T TV viewing. It's not among the brightest we've seen, but reception and performance proved impeccable - and as an added bonus it's also capable of recording live TV to its 30 MB of onboard memory or microSD cards. Other highlights include a 1.3 Megapixel camera and Bluetooth, with availability slated for May 2006.
