A month ago, we’ve seen Samsung U550 passing the FCC hurdle and now, after a month-long wait, it’s here. You could think the wait was worth it – but you would be so wrong. The only reason I could think of is that Verizon wanted to release the U550 after the Valentine’s Day.
There’s nothing special about Samsung’s mid-range clamshell. It has two screens (internal has resolution of 220×176 and external 96×96 pixels), 1.3 megapixel camera with Night Shot mode, EV-DO and Bluetooth support. Fortunately, it’s priced accordingly and you can already grab it for $69.99 on a 2-year contract after rebates.

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.
