KPN will become the first operator in Europe to launch a nationwide mobile TV service when it begins broadcasting 10 channels across DVB-H next month.

Vodafone Group's German business head Fritz Joussen this week said he doesn't believe in the business of paying for television on mobile phones due to development of new handsets capable of receiving regular terrestrial TV-signals for free.

At present, the phones are not included with the KPN subscription. The P960 alone costs €499. This recently introduced slider phone offers a sharp 2.6 inch TFT screen, on screen TV guide and Picture in Picture (PIP) that allows users to view two channels at once.

There is also a time-shifting feature that shifts TV program schedule when a show is interrupted by incoming calls.

Samsung says the handset will last 5 hours on one battery charge.
