Cricket TXTM8

Cricket has a new device in its offering. It’s the Cricket TXTM8, which looks like an ideal entry-level device for messaging and social networking. The trick is in the full slide-down QWERTY keyboard that makes message writing and chatting much easier than on a traditional numeric keypad.

Rest of the specs include 2.2-inch screen, 1.3 megapixel camera, music player, Bluetooth, as well as a microSD memory card slot. Moreover, the so called Cricket MyHomeScreen provides users with quick access to latest news, sports, entertainment and weather information.

The Cricket TXTM8 is available at Cricket retail stores and dealers for $159.99.

Dusan Belic

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.
