BlackBerry 8830 World EditionAlltel is the latest carrier in North America to introduce the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition smartphone. Aside from the standard business-centric features that give the BlackBerry users access to their email in real-time, the main advantage of the 8830 World Edition is that it can work on both GSM and CDMA networks allowing its users to rely on the single device around the world. In addition, RIM’s globetrotterin’ smartphone also has GPS capabilities, EVDO, full QWERTY keyboard and the microSD expansion slot. As for the pre-installed software – there’s a media player, PIM software, web browser, BlackBerry Maps and more.

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.
