The Escapade clamshell, which we first saw back in July, is now officially available from Verizon Wireless. The low-to-mid range device is made by PCD (Personal Communications Devices) and not Pantech, as initially thought, and is designed for those who need a single device to use it in both the U.S. and the rest of the world. The trick is in using both CDMA and GSM radios, hence making sure this baby will work virtually everywhere.
Rest of the specs include 2-inch internal screen, 1.1-inch external display, 2-megapixel camera, GPS receiver, and Bluetooth connectivity support. As for supported service, the Escapade can sing along VZ Navigator, Mobile Web and Mobile Email. Verizon is asking $29.99 for the device and that’s after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a contract.

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.
