I guess all of us use SMS on a daily basis, but sending 200 text messages per day sounds almost impossible. Apparently, that’s like every day for the teenagers in the Philippines.
An analyst from Jupiter Research spent a couple of weeks with a family in the Philippines and discovered the “secrets of the trade.” The fast-typin’ sixteen-year-old girl was the “subject” of the experiment, who according to Jupiter Research Weblog is texting all the time — at the dinner table, while in the car, while walking, and even while talking to a person. Heck, the JR’s analyst seen her woke up, send an SMS, and then rollover to go back to sleep. Now that’s an addiction, don’t you think?
Finally, for all the Nokia fans out there – you’ll be glad (or not) to know she’s one of you folks. This “SMS maniac” used to have another brand, but the buttons were just not there. Nokia has higher quality buttons I guess…

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.
