Apparently more active members of our community are not satisfied with their current handsets. It’s just that most devices are not tough enough to carry them around while, for example, you’re up in the mountain climbing to the top.
Sonim XP1 (XP1 stands for XPerience One) aims to change that. This ruggedized device is built to meet the challenges given by leisure-time pursuit kind of people. It’s not just ruggedized, it’s also a noisy handset, with two speakers with 50% louder sound and a high voice quality. Furthermore, the XP1 also sports a large, bright and scratch resistant display screen, as well as the large buttons. Best of all, it can work on temperatures ranging from -40° C to +85° C.
My 2 cents, if you’re not THAT extreme, try Nokia 5500. It’s quite durable, and also packs more features. Plus, it’s cheaper. (via: textually)

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.
