In addition to support for handsets from major manufacturers (Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson and Samsung), EQO Mobile now works on BlackBerry handsets! What this means is that the real push-email addicts are getting yet another tool at their disposal — the one that will allow them to make free/cheap phone calls, and to send and receive instant messages on MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, GoogleTalk and Jabber – all with a single application.
If you’re not familiar with EQO Mobile, it allows you to save on phone calls and text messaging. You can talk for free with other EQO users or make low-cost VoIP calls to land and mobile phone.
The application is easy to use and, as EQO likes to emphasize, works like a phonebook. Auto import of contacts is supported and the application can even work without a computer. More information is available at EQO’s site.

Dusan Belic
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.
