Nokia has managed to get Canada’s Rogers Wireless on board for carrier billing in the N-Gage. As a result, N-Gage users will be able to pay for a game via their monthly phone bill — cost of the game will be added on top of what you already pay for the mobile service.
No more credit cards – when you need a game, you can buy it right away and pay at the end of the month along with what you owe to the carrier.
I find this to be a great news for Nokia, and in that sense I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rogers enabling carrier billing for the Ovi Store, too. Hopefully, we’ll see more carriers embracing this kind of billing for third-party app stores.

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.
