Samsung E950, one of the announced touchy-treo with Touch Sensitive Keypad, starts shipping in Europe this week, while the U.S. shipments are scheduled to start somewhere in the fall of this year.
As a reminder, the E950 is a slim slider phone boasting such features as 3.2 MP camera and a media player. However, the main selling point of this device will certainly be the mentioned touch sensitive keypad, which unlike in previous models comes with a dose of interactivity. For instance, when you use this phone in a music mode – you’ll see only media player control buttons like pause, play, fast forward, etc; while in the camera mode the zoom controls and other camera functions will be available. I like the idea — something 37signals’ Jason Fried calls “context over consistency.”

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.
