Just when we reported MetroPCS is getting Samsung’s full QWERTY-keyboard equipped feature phone, Messager, we caught Cricket saying they’re on board, too.
Again, the Samsung Messager is a heavy texter’s dream device, featuring a 1.3 megapixel camera, MP3 plyayer, stereo Bluetooth, and a microSD memory card slot. Pre-installed apps and games include Rabble Social Networking, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, and Street Fighter II Champion Edition.
The Samsung Messager is immediately available in navy blue and green at Cricket retail stores and Cricket dealers for $199.99.

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.
