Again, it’s our duty to inform you about all the new things happening in the world of mobile phones, both on the low and on the high end of the spectrum. And now we have a new thing to report about the former, as Verizon added a new entry-level handset to its portfolio.
The Verizon Wireless Coupe packs all the basic phone features in a decent-looking clamshell form factor which measures 3.8×1.8×0.8 inches and weighs 3.3 ounces. In addition, the new device sports dedicated keys that provide quick access to emergency contacts (i.e. Verizon is targeting senior citizens for Coupe), as well as such pre-installed software as tip calculator, alarm clock, calendar and world clock. Nothing extra special, but then again just good enough for a $19.99 priced handset. That’s with a two-year agreement of course.

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.
