The right name of the mobile device is one of the components of the successful launch. RIM knows that, and now they seem to want to change the name of their BlackBerry 8300 to BlackBerry Curve. Apparently, domain Blackberry8300.com redirected users to BlackberryCurve.com. When I tried it, I wasn’t getting anything…
Somehow renaming the phone in this stage (when everyone is already talking about it) doesn’t make much sense. On the other hand, RIM may want to get other, non-business oriented crowd to buy their handsets. Something, they’ve already succeeded with the Pearl. See, name helped there! (via: MobileWhack)

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.
