Dopod International and Research In Motion (RIM) recently announced the availability of BlackBerry Connect software v4.0 on 838Pro (aka HTC Hermes/HTC TyTN).
Through the existing licensing relationship between HTC (now the owner of Dopod) and RIM, Dopod will provide BlackBerry Connect software on its Windows Mobile-based 838Pro smartphone to support push-based email services, in conjunction with both BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service.
Commenting on the announcement Dopod CEO Jack Tong said: “BlackBerry Connect on Dopod International devices provides an innovative and powerful solution that meets the distinct needs of our mobile users on the go. We are very excited to work with RIM to provide the new BlackBerry Connect software on 838Pro for customers in Hong Kong, Australia and South East Asia.”

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.
