You’ve seen the press photos and now it’s here. I’m talking about the LG VX8610 Decoy, the one phone that comes with an integrated Bluetooth headset.
Aside from this very useful feature, the LG Decoy also sports a 2.2-inch QVGA screen, 2 megapixel camera that can take both photos and videos, EV-DO, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR support (of course) and microSD memory slot. Pre-installed software include media player, basic image editor, mobile instant messaging client.
In a nutshell, it’s a mid-range music-enabled slider for those people that keep forgetting their Bluetooth headsets. In that sense, I’ve no doubts it will sell well despite its kinda steep price of $179.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new Verizon Wireless two-year customer agreement…

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.
