Hawaii 3G

Japan’s NTT DoCoMo and AT&T announced that the extension of a 3G network to all principal islands in Hawaii has been completed. Using AT&T’s 3G network, DoCoMo customers now have access to data and voice roaming services in the main populated areas of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Kauai.

NTT DoCoMo began providing 3G roaming services on Oahu in October of last year and then extended the services to other islands including Hawaii and Maui.

Even before that, in July, the Japanese mobile operator helped AT&T build the 3G network in the summery U.S. state.

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.
