Beside adding Pantech C150 candybar, AT&T – also known as the “iPhone carrier” – added Samsung SGH-A117 to its offering, targeting people looking for simple low-end clamshell-shaped device. There’s absolutely nothing special about the A117 – there are two screens (internal and external), speakerphone, WAP browser and the support for downloadable ringtones and wallpapers.
And… that’s it. This phone doesn’t even have a camera. I guess AT&T had to cover the low end of the spectrum with such device. But, what the hack — it’s a GoPhone (Pay As You Go) with a price tag of $60, making it a perfect easy-to-use entry level device.

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.
