Vodafone to bundle Mission: Impossible III with Nokia N93
If you're not already streaming movies to your less-than-ideal mobile display, or still toting that awkward Sharp 905SH to pick up Japanese TV broadcasts, Vodafone has an offer sure to make anyone any remaining Tom Cruise fans happy. Reportedly part of a holiday promotion to get more Nokia N93's in the hands of consumers, Vodafone will be including "a copy of Mission: Impossible III" on a 512MB miniSD card with the purchase of the N93 (and presumably a lengthy contract). The film will supposedly "run at 25fps" and support "rewind, fast forward, stop and resume, just like a proper DVD." The most intriguing bit, however, isn't the fact that a free half-gigabyte miniSD card sounds entirely more appealing than a played-out action film, but "you can also offload the flick onto your PC, and use the card for your own movies afterwards." Regardless of who seemingly gave Vodafone the thumbs-up to deliver the major motion picture sans DRM, we're just waiting in tense anticipation to see this unhampered goodness hit elsewhere.

It's not Vodafone that's including M:III with the Nokia 93, its Nokia itself. E.G. http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/news/news.phtml/5286/6310/Nokia-Mission-impossible-miniSD-N93.phtml

the res of the movie is prob so low(same res as screen) they dont care about infecting it with DRM. Honestly, who in there right mind is going to watch a full length movie on there cellphone?

Details are incorrect. As taken from 3g.co.uk, and hidden at the bottom of the article with an asterisks.............
"Please note that the movie cannot be played on the PC nor can it be copied to another memory card"

Forget the movie: Why would anyone buy an
N93? They're bigger than my
Panasonic cordless... How does it even fit in a normal
person's
pocket? (no cargo pants explanations, please)

N93 is not bad at all. it take great photos & video. A hugh plus for clear results compared to other cellphones that has a built in camera/video that has 1.3+mb pixels. Why not watch a full length moive on a cellphone... apple just came out will another generation of ipods that you can watch movies on?? I think it's great.
