@AYA: Like the WirelessMonkey said earlier live streaming video services will be subscription based...so no worries about sky high data bills.

Phones in near future will have built in TV tuners so we dont have to pay for subs or any stream but YES in SA we can only pick up SABC123 and ETV for FREE maybe other channel will be streamed at a fixed monthly cost..........FACT MTN chargers 86cents throught the day on contracts and they dont offer per second billing from the 1st second on all contracts.PAYING 86cents a SMS during off peak time thats ROBBERY...........Yello ROBBERS EVERYWHERE YOU GO

Yes, that's definitely the way to go for mobile data of the future.

Any1 around here been the victim of a smartphone virus? Funny thing is, I've always got my BT switched on, discoverable mode and in a couple of crowded areas like my office and @
bars some unknown device has been attempting to send me a file over BT... But I can't open it coz I ain't got a smartphone...it's funny though how these viruses can spread.

Don't the Ericsson P-series phones also run on the symbian operating system? Don't be so quick to slam Nokia. Ericsson was part of the Symbian development too. It was a joint agreement by a number of various manufacturers.
By the way, people. I've owned a Nokia symbian for 26 months now, and have never encountered any virus. If you're responsible with your phone, you have nothing to fear.
Saying "lucky I don't own a Nokia" because it's more prone to viruses is like saying "lucky I don't own a Ferrari cos I'd get more speeding fines."

Huh buddies ,just read some of my previous postings regarding viruses and cellphones.To clarify one thing,a pc virus and a cellphone virus is not the same thing ! If you manage to remember this then you have already learned the important part about the symbian viruses.My dream is to develop a real virus for a symbian phone 'just for fun'.We are a group of people on the net,all C++ and symbian literate working towards a common goal.Now the problem is (big problem) a symbian phone stores its operating system in rom and copies it to eeprom during the start up routine.A pc uses its hard drive to store the operating system.You don't need to be a rocket scientist to realize that by simply deleting the initiation routine and then off/on the cell (copies rom back to eeprom) any 'virus' can be deleted from a S60 cellphone :-(

If i did not require 3G and symbian, i would never leave se, and i would surely have bought the k750i , but even with all the virus scares going around, there are still ways to prevent getting them, which is why i will keep my non symbian little marvel, k700i. My mobile number is freely available on web, so my mms service will be disabled on my symbian

And dont download email to your symbian, the chat site i use got an email service i can use to check my email and then if i decide its safe just download the files from there, and 3, dont leave your bluetooth on, actually, to disable it totally is the way to go, when using my laptop with phone as modem in a crowed place, its easy........ Will just use my trusted sony.

@Mohil: You're right, the P-series can also be infected as well as any phone using the Symbian OS but most of the viruses have targeted Series60 phones from Nokia.
@Rick: If SE's releases/announces a worthy 3G/EDGE phone I might be swayed from the Evil Empire.
