I’ve no idea when LG announced the KC550, but it was just recently we’ve spot it around the web.
First let’s talk about price. For 179.95 GBP (about $356) on Expansys, you get a sexy, 14.3 mm thin slider which boasts a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus. In addition, the tri-band device (GSM 900/1800/1900 + EDGE) also packs a QVGA screen, stereo Bluetooth support, FM radio, media player, and of course a microSD memory slot. But that’s not all, just like the big boys (Sony Ericsson K850i, W910i and the iPhone), the KC550 also packs an accelerometer and even comes with few games that support the use of it!
Lack of 3G may be a deal breaker for some folks, but $350 can’t buy you much more, can it?

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.
