On a cell phone? Which model does that?

All 3G phones

 

[U2FanPeter]

Unless it is a video call.

I've never owned a cellphone, but I'm just guessing that the technology exists

 

[Mirrorballman83]

On Sometimes snippet of "Torna a Surriento"

Vodafone NZ does it. Don't know about the rest of the world.


My phone doesn't though.

 

[ntalwar]

All 3G phones

Playing and recording video yes- I don't see live transmission in the specs.

 

[U2_Neat]

Playing and recording video yes- I don't see live transmission in the specs.

you can also have a video call, that's why all 3G phones have an extra camera in the front.
That is IF your network supports 3G technology, but most networks do by now.

 

[#KIWIMOFO#]

All new phones here in Aus can make video calls to each other. It isnt cheap, but it is completely possible....

Wonder if Angel of Harlem will stay tonight, I think that is probably a bit vulnerable, and subject to overuse. I think they shouldnt do it all the time. I would swap it with Desire or something else from R&H. Or, my preference would be to swap it out and play Heartland as a segue into Hawkmoon 269... but I realise this probably isnt likley

However predictable the setlists can be, you should never say never with U2...

 

[cleazer]

Hey, I'm actually awake for a setlist party.

Cool. Wonder what the frame rate is on that - if it's jerky or smooth video.

 

[Miringeltje]

WOW!

That was a really long SBS!

 

[coolian2]

Its a little ugly, but it'll improve.

I played with one a few months ago (interestingly at a Vodafone stall in the stadium in Auckland, about where the stage will be set up)....

welcome cleazer - long time

Hi, a long time indeed. I haven't been on interference hardly at all over the past few months.


By the way, any chance of an invite?

 

[U2_Neat]

i'm guessing jerky, 15fps or something.
it's meant for video conferences, not U2 feeds...
well, not yet!!

 

[#KIWIMOFO#]

Its actually bearable - equal to a webcam connection - esentially that is what it is - without all the inter-networks. So, with the same carrier it is pretty fast. Phones can download up to about 2Mb/sec which is pretty fast.

Just opened the door to outside, I am a fair distance away but thought i might be able to hear it because of the wind Not sure though... can hear things - but its probably me

well, not yet!!

Although sound quality is good though - so it would serve a dual purpose and add alittle bit more to it

I can tell you what though - I couldnt get a text message out last night when Bono told everyone to text in... the mobile carriers were getting slammed with txts... so that would definitely impact anything coming out of there!

 

[ntalwar]

Looks like Walk On and Yahweh might be skipped this time.

 

[U2_Neat]

waiting for one more change, at the encore...

 

[kennerado]

Nice set so far tonight

 

[Miringeltje]

Looks like Walk On and Yahweh might be skipped this time.

'Cause I like both of them.

Hi N!

Hi M - . Long time.

 

[amerrydeath]

reporting in from dublin!

 

[U2_Neat]

do you think there are other bands' fans doing setlist parties?
that would just seem so crazy...

 

[Miringeltje]

Long time.

Yeah, I know.
Work has been keeping me rather busy.

 

[U2FanPeter]

i'm guessing jerky, 15fps or something.

well, not yet!!

Would it be harder to actually find a fan that is willing to point a cellphone at the stage for 2 hrs?

 

[#KIWIMOFO#]

Much nicer night in Sydney tonight - a bit windy but that woudlnt affect anyone in the Stadium much. I am pretty sure the fans in the thick of it will have sunburn - it got to about 30 today and the sun was pretty extreme. I saw a few like that last night, today will be much worse!
