MetroPCS has launched a new service called Screen-it, to “allow consumers to more successfully manage incoming calls to their phone by seeing the caller’s name before answering the call.” As you’ve probably figured out, Screen-it displays the calling party’s name on a subscriber’s mobile phone. This includes unknown callers, too, as the service will try to identify the caller name at the backend.
TARGUSinfo has been selected as the provider of caller name services for Screen-it. It [Screen-it] will be included with select packages and will be an enhanced option available to add a la carte for other packages.
Commenting on the announcement, MetroPCS’ COO Tom Keys said: “Being the first to introduce this service demonstrates MetroPCS’ commitment to providing the best wireless service to its customers.”

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.
