Yap folks, we knew this is coming. The slider-shaped Samsung t739 — also known as the Samsung Katalyst — should hit T-Mobile’s site and stores nationwide anytime soon. At the moment of writing this article, I haven’t been able to find it on the carrier’s website, though.
As you already know, the Katalyst comes with support for T-Mobile HotSpot @Home and can be also used for free (with a right plan) or cheaper VoIP phone calls at nearly 8,500 T-Mobile HotSpot locations nationwide. In addition to WiFi, the non-3G device also comes with myFaves support, 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, pre-installed IM app that supports all the major IM networks (AOL, ICQ, Yahoo and Windows Live Messenger), and of course the microSD memory expansion slot… All in all, it’s a simple WiFi enabled feature phone for people who doesn’t look much from their device, but like the idea of cheaper/free phone calls — again with a right plan. Plus, they may want to have their music on their mobile and/or chat with their IM buddies while on-the-go.

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.
