Dusan Belic

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.

    It seems everyone is tooting the horn about this fact. All i can say is BOORING. Yet another reason to go with Nokia. You pick the maps you want, for whatever region you want and you pay 50% less if you want Turn by turn navigation.

    Nokia fan

    As an S60 user looking for an alternative to Nokia Maps (Samsung G810 – Nokia Maps wont work on my phone)
    What would you recommend Dusan?
    Are there any offline alternatives?
