I wasn’t aware that some country in the Western (or that’s north) Europe doesn’t have a 3G network. Even most of the non-EU countries in Europe have 3G networks…
Anyway, Icelandic telecom company Síminn has finally decided to move its subscribers to the age of modern mobile communications with their launch of the country’s first 3G network. The special ceremony was held in the capital city, where Síminn donated 3G phones to all members of Icelandic Association of the Deaf, who will certainly benefit from the video calling capability of the video call enabled devices.
At the moment, the 3G network only covers the capital region, but the carrier promised to expand its new network to reach at least 60% of Iceland’s inhabitants who live outside that region in the next two and a half years.

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.
