I guess Verizon’s idea behind all the renaming is that users are more comfortable with phone names they can actually remember. A letter followed by two or three numbers may not be that memorable after all.
Anyway, following their decision to rename the U940 to Glyde, the CDMA carrier is (sort of) re-introducing the Samsung U740 clamshell as “Alias.” Apparently it’s the U740′s dual-hinged “nature” that made Verizon use “Alias” as the new name. The device only looks like a “sleek, high–style, high–class handset” but there’s more (like full QWERTY keyboard) under the hood.

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.
