Samsung SPH-W7100 is an interesting device, no doubt about it. For one thing – do you know any other phone that comes with a 100dB alarm siren? The mentioned siren is linked to local emergency services, providing an extra safety for those who carry this device. Likewise, thanks to the built-in GPS receiver, authorities also get your GPS coordinates to come to help as soon as possible.
Now, here’s a twist. Let’s say some “funny dude” cracks the device and stops the function that contacts the local authorities. As a result, you’re left with a relatively nice clamshell designed to annoy people. Sounds like fun, though I’m sure Samsung hasn’t envisioned that kind of use for the W7100.

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.
