Verizon Wireless will adding a new low-end device to its portfolio later this month. It’s the LG VX5500 clamshell, which because of its “low-end nature” won’t impress anyone with its features. To be fair, this affordable baby packs a Bluetooth support, two color screens (internal and external), VGA camera and it can also sing along the carrier’s Mobile Web 2.0 service. Unfortunately, there’s no microSD memory card slot, meaning you can’t actually use the VX5500 as a music player. Still for $50 after rebate and with a contract you shouldn’t expect much more, right?

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.
