Even though we saw it announced back in September 2007 and posted the hands-on demo video a month later, the Samsung SGH-i640v has just recently been added to Vodafone’s offering. I won’t bug you too much, we’ve already covered the phone in the past. There’s a 2 megapixel camera, HSDPA, full QWERTY keyboard, Windows Mobile 6 — all packed in the slider form factor. Again, I said it before and I’m going to repeat it – lack of WiFi on a smartphone is a deal breaker for me. That’s in case you’re not on some unlimited data plan…
Anyway, the i640v could be yours from free to £150 depending on your monthly plan and contract duration. Here’s the link to Vodafone’s page.

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.
