Australia’s Telstra has announced that the stylish LG KF390 is joining the carrier’s Blue Tick range of Next G handsets. What this (Blue Tick) means, is that Telstra is recommending the device for use in both rural and regional areas, suggesting the reception is quite solid (or at least it can be enhanced by connecting to an external antenna).
LG’s shiny slider is an HSDPA-enabled device providing users with download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. In addition, it sports a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth support, large keys, media player and more.
As for the pricing, the LG KF390 will start selling on August 4th for AU$559. Later in the month (from August 18th), Telstra will bundle the device with a two-year long, under-a-AU$30 plan to ultimately make the KF390 more affordable…

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.
