Verizon will be adding two mid-range devices on October 6th.

First of the two is the Motorola VU30 Rapture, which we’ve already seen while passing the FCC hurdle. Let me recap again – the glossy clamshell packs 2 megapixel camera, GPS, EV-DO, Bluetooth, music player, and a memory card slot. Could be yours for $179.99 with a two-year agreement or $299.99 sans any contracts.

Then there’s the Samsung u650 Sway (pictured on the right), a 0.47-inches thin slider which apparently misses 3G. However, it does come with a 2 megapixel camera, music playback software and we guess a Bluetooth support. Should be available next week for $119.99 on a two-year, or $239.99 contract-free…

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.
