Once again, Samsung goes with its experiments. Lately they’ve showcased the SGH-P210 model, a dual-mode handset that works with both carriers’ and WLAN networks. The idea is to save on monthly phone bill by using affordable VoIP services. This is not a new concept, and there are specific applications for various smartphone models that do the same thing. However, this is the first feature (non smart) phone I’m aware of that does the same thing — so it IS kind a new concept to bring the dual-mode telephony to regular users.
In terms of specs this slider handset supports Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, and boasts a 2 MP camera, and a microSD memory card slot. (via: uberphones)

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.
