I am very happy with my Sony K800i but would consider replacing it with a mobile that had a DAB radio as opposed to an FM one. Is such a thing available? Richard Carden
I only know of one: it's an HTC product sold by Virgin Mobile as the Lobster 700TV. As the name suggests, it's aimed at the mobile TV market, so it hasn't been promoted as a DAB phone.
Backchat: In a comment below, Briantist -- who has one -- says: "Sorry to disappoint, but you can no longer get a Lobster from Virgin Mobile." By email, Daryl Kayes says the shortage of DAB phones "may be partly due to the heavy battery drain of DAB technology. For example, the Freeplay wind-up DAB radio should give you 10 hours of FM reception for 10 minutes of winding, but only half an hour of DAB radio." However, more power-efficient DAB chips are on the way.
