BlackBerry ThunderWe’ve already posted RIM is preparing to launch the all-touchscreen equipped BlackBerry Thunder later in the year. However, we now have The Wall Street Journal writing about it, giving more credibility to the story. Yap folks, the device that should appeal to both business and individual users is in the making process.

Apparently — and as we reported earlier — Verizon will get the exclusive launch rights for the U.S., while the rest of the world will at least initially be able to grab the gorgeous device through one of many Vodafone’s subsidiaries. Release date is set for Q3 2008, so we guess it will probably be somewhere around September. Roughly at that time, Sony Ericsson will release XPERIA, 3G iPhone may also be announced, and suddenly buying a mobile phone goes from complex to ultra-complex decision…

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.

    I agree! I’m not a verizon subsrcriber, I’m a Sprint. That would look real nice with Sprint tagged on the front!
