India is finally “going 3G” and the state-owned telecom company, Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), will be the first mobile operator to “bless” its users with fast 3G data speeds.

As part of the marketing activities, MTNL will offer free 3G access for the first two months to its premium users in Delhi area, and the company plans to expand the 3G coverage to the whole region within a month. Mumbai citizens, however, will have to wait for around two more months, before they get 3G, too.

Now we’re waiting for other mobile operators in the country to roll-out their 3G offering. Guess we won’t have to wait for too long to see that happening…

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.
