Just recently, EQO has released its popular EQO Mobile application for Symbian S60 3rd edition based devices, allowing users of (mostly) Nokia smartphones to talk and text much cheaper. Previously, we saw them releasing the BlackBerry client and now (naturally) they want to hop over to the world’s most popular mobile smartphone platform.
Those not familiar should know that with EQO they can call anywhere in the world for rates as low as 2.3 cents per minute, while also saving on texting. In addition, EQO Mobile users can use the application as the universal instant messaging client and connect with their buddies on MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, Google Talk, ICQ and/or Jabber while on-the-go.
I haven’t tried EQO, but if some of you guys/gals have – don’t hesitate to drop us a comment. The offer is certainly compelling, but let’s not forget we also have Fring which does pretty much the same job…
UPDATE: At the moment, EQO Mobile for Symbian S60 3rd edition based devices is still in private alpha, but I guess the final version is just around the corner. Stay tuned…

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.
