We’ve already wrote about ZTE’s plans to enter the smartphone market. During the Mobile World Congress which starts on Monday, the Chinese company will have 10 such devices on display at its booth (Hall 8, B127).
Among the devices we’ll be able to see is the Windows Mobile-powered VF 1231 model which has been developed especially for Vodafone. Then there are the “XIANG” series of 3.5G super slim HSDPA/HSUPA handsets, the e760 (a GSM-based handset for China Mobile) and the D820/D810 (a CDMA-based handset for China Telecom). Also, ZTE will be displaying the U981, a top-end smartphone that was deployed by China Mobile during the Beijing Olympic Games.
ZTE’s range of smartphones are based on two operating systems – Windows Mobile and Linux. At this stage, we’re not sure whether they’ll show us “something Android.” We certainly hope so.

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.
