TV streaming via 3G isn’t something new, the Vodafone Live! service already provides consumers with that, and many other operators do. In France, MTV was smart enough to join the branded mobile phone hype. I say hype, as every major brand has their phone, Apple, Levis, Tag Heuer, etc.

The device certainly had to have 3G for the MTV channels streaming to be possible, and 3G radio was also included, not sure of what that is, I like the old-fashioned FM Radio. Funny thing is that the company behind the Hummer phones and the Levis phone, Modelabs, is also behind this project.

This is not the first device of its kind, a previous device, MTV3.0 was available on the network. The MTV3.3 features the following:

• 2.2″ display
• Bluetooth
• MP3, AAC, and video
• 2 megapixel camera
• Pre-installed videos and ringtones
