With 478.4 million mobile phones in use, there are more mobile subscribers than citizens in the European Union. At present, mobile subscribers are at the 103% of the total population of the EU member states, up from 95% in 2005.
Report conducted by the European Commission suggest that penetration is highest in Luxembourg (171%), Italy (134%) and, surprisingly, Lithuania (133%). On the other hand people in France (82%), Malta (83%) and Slovakia (86%) are at the “bottom” of the list.
My two cents: I would love to have a powerful handset (i.e. smartphone) that is able to accept more than a single SIM card — something we used to have with the old Motorola Startac. This way I’m certain most of us who currently own two or more phones, would switch back to the single, dual-SIM device. (via: Textually)

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.
