In reaction to the criticism for crippling the Nokia N95′s VoIP capabilities, Vodafone decided NOT to go this way in Australia. In the earlier post we talked about how carriers have pulled out VoIP services from the Nokia N95. They haven’t did that completely, and VoIP providers found the way to get around the barriers, thus continuing to offer their services (affordable) to the N95 owners.
Carriers have been arguing that offering the VoIP enabled handsets would be an economic suicide. Provide contract customers with the subsidized phones, which customers could use on the competing (WiFI) networks, doesn’t have much sense from their point of view. Hopefully, the customers will win and we’ll have mobile and VoIP bundled in a not-that-expensive smartphone. (via: SymbianFreak)

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.
