Now here’s the interesting form factor — not that it’s the first such device, but it’s the form factor I haven’t seen for a long time. The rumored Samsung i620 is set to replace the popular i600 model, and to come in the slider form factor. But the i620 is not like other slider handsets — when it slides down it reveals the full QWERTY Keyboard, thus producing the “wow” effect.
Aside from the full keyboard, there’s the HSDPA radio, WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity options, 2 cameras – internal for video calls and 2 MP external with flash, as well as the microSD expansion slot. The TFT screen produces the standard QVGA resolution and can display up to 65k colors. Dimensions of 113x59x11.8 mm and weight of 95 g make the Samsung i620 one of the thinnest and lightest smartphones around. And, yes it will run the Windows Mobile 6! (via: slashphone)

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.
