Samsung i839

Recently, I’ve spotted an interesting Samsung handset that works on both CDMA and GSM networks. Immediately, I saw a bestselling device for users in U.S. and Canada, who need such device when traveling to Europe. However, Samsung doesn’t seem to share my vision — or they may have a better one? The Samsung i839 is phone made specially for China to support both standards that work in the world’s most populated country. Beside two different radios, the i839 also has a 2.4″ QVGA touchscreen, 2 MP camera, and a Linux core — all packed in a stylish slider phone factor that measures 101×52.5×19.9 mm and weighs 125 grams. Kinda bulky for Samsung, but hey, you want to roam or not? :)

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.
