Sony Ericsson W995′s North American counterpart, W995a, has been spotted at the FCC’s website, too. What this means is that all the testing required for the U.S. market is done and that the Swedish-Japanese handset maker is ready to start selling its high-end music device in the States. The problem is that no carrier partners are announced to date, but my feeling is that they’re in the midst of negotiations with AT&T and possibly Canada’s Rogers Wireless. All the right bands are there — WCDMA “playing” at 850 and 1900 MHz — meaning this baby can sing along the two carriers’ 3G networks; not to mentioned the 8 megapixel camera and other goodies found under the hood of the W995/W995a.
I guess once the agreement is reached with them, it’s all about the timing. Summer sounds like a great time to release a music phone, right?

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.
