Chinese handset makers are getting worse with the day. Lately we’ve spotted their new “work” called HTC A296. Not surprisingly, this device (pictured above) has nothing to do with the famous Taiwan-based smartphone manufacturer. The “designers” behind the ultra-ugly phone only “borrowed” few lines from the HTC Diamond, yet decided to place the sliding numeric keypad between the navigational pad and screen. The end result is as ugly as one can get. Still, some of you may opt to grab it for $128 through Solomobi. If that’s what you want, well, I don’t know what to say — don’t email me when you have problems, k?

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.
