Today we’re presenting you with yet another Pantech’s device which you probably won’t see around in the Western hemisphere. It’s the WPP-8000 and it’s not a regular phone. Launched through LG Dacom, this simple looking candybar doesn’t rely on standard cellular networks (like GSM or CDMA) — rather it works through wireless LAN using the carrier’s iHub service. As a result, users can access latest news and other information without extra data charges.
It’s also important to add that despite the fact it’s a WiFi phone, the Pantech WPP-8000 can display standard information on its small screen such as caller ID and can be also used for text messaging. Think of it as an experimental device, and if proves successful, Pantech will make more of these…

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.
