Just thought I'd post some info on the new Sanyo 7400 being released by Telecom in the near future. Go the the website www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=631 to see the current info on it. If anyone finds out anything else about release times or whatever please let me know!!

It will be very interesting to see how video calling goes on Vodafone, they are really getting stuck into the fact that their 3G network will do something that Telecom can't do (video calling) but overseas experience with 3 has shown the novelty wears off rather quickly!

Is there a limit to the size of the video messaging with Telecom? Is it limited by size or time like Vodafone have at present?

CDMA Video Messaging is limited to 15 seconds (voice/audio). I have done video calling on EVDO and it works great. Still don't see the point in looking up some ones nostril.

EVDO is way more capable for streaming media than UMTS.

So is video calling going to be a possibility Jama? Certainly while most of the population will tire of it, there would be those that would find it very useful, and I think its going to gradually become more and more popular (just like mobile data, photo messaging etc etc, although maybe not the same scale).

Being able to see someone can put a whole different light on a conversation.

Phone dependant and not on our roadmap at this stage. I use a laptop, EVDO card and Net Meeting.

Vodafone are already bragging about it being something they can do (with existing handsets) that Telecom can't. I'm sure it'll be on your roadmap soon even if it is only for the gimmick factor!

I know this is about a handset

Vodafone will launch the next stage of 3GSM within 2 years and promise 10MB+ persecond That should be good to see, It was in a brochure that we got from them. Our company has just switched 45 connections to them from 027 to talkzoneZero,

HSDPA is whatVodafone plan to roll out after their W-CDMA (3GSM) release 99 network. I doubt if it will be live in 2 years. Even of they do 2 years is still a long time away. Funny tho, When you hear and see people from the GSM camp on the news and in the paper talking about EV-DO they say that "people do not need that sort of speed" and that is “not about speed.”, and on forums and news groups people say it is "about the service not the speed". Then you find out that have plans to roll out HSPDA over WCDMA. Then suddenly Speed is important. I guess no matter that Telecom do it will be wrong. And no matter what Vodafone do will be the best.

When you get your hands on a Harrier you won't need Vodafone LIVE and its stupid video calling.
I have gameboy/Sega/NES games loaded on mine and make any VLIVE handset look like a cheap plastic toy for teenagers., If I want a "feature", I just load it on!, no messing about as "the phone does not have this or that or this. blah blah

it only has one downer I know of, it's not photo messaging capable (as yet)

I have done both Video Streaming (80Kbps) and very "dirty" video calling on 1RXTT. The streaming video from Xtra's site was unbroken and complete (video music clip) the "video calling" was acceptable. (3rd party software on a pc, not a mobile)
Tried the same on GPRS at 32Kbps. ha ha no go at all. I was lucky squeezing out 15Kbps.

Video Calling is a silly novelty in my view, I have used it overseas and "Pxt" and "Vxt" are more fun as you compose a "masterpiece" of a creative nature. Video calling is pretty much "Wow I can see your face moving when you talk, how KoooL!" It's about as fun as a flashing antenna.

I think telecom are onto the right game on this one releasing it with a fantastic data device/phone. (harrier), they also ROCK for TXT. and making it value for money. And my praises for EVDO having greater than a 64Kbps upload rate! (3GSM) meaning I upload my pics via email in like NO time!! which is where 3GSM falls flat on it's face. 64 Kbps is just a stupid joke. old 1RXTT is FASTER than this!!! ha ha ha ha., Go Vodafone. I wonder if Vodafone "live" will still crash daily when they launch?
