We’ve already heard this may happen and now it’s official. MegaFon announced that it will carry the iPhone 3G in Russia. As usual with Apple iPhone announcements not much details were provided. All we have is “later this year” and we’re wondering does that means October or December.
Commenting on the news, telecoms analyst at UralSib Konstantin Belov said: “Typically Russian operators are not strong handset sellers, and users prefer to buy handsets separately from their mobile contracts. But the iPhone is very popular, and if mobile operators start subsidizing it, they will probably see strong demand.”

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.
