At the 3GSM World Congress 2006, Barcelona, Spain, Nokia announces Avaya Communication Manager application for its series 80 smartphones – 9300/9300i and 9500 Communicator. This lets workers use a single mobile device that contains key functions usually found on a desktop business phone, and that keeps users easily accessible wherever they go. The capability provides businesses with a greater choice of business communication applications for mobile workers regardless of their location, access technology or communication device, enabling them to collaborate and respond rapidly to customers and colleagues. The Communication Manager application for the Series 80 complements Avaya’s existing support for the Nokia Series 60 smart phones.
Avaya was the first vendor to build and deploy enterprise fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) systems and applications which enable businesses to achieve more effective mobile communication.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
