It was back in July when we first saw the Motorola A45 Murano. Now it has been officially announced in Brazil as MOTOCUBO A45. The name makes perfect sense considering the device look and feel – it is kinda ugly, to be fair. Still, it offers the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard and is hence ideal for heavy texters. Rest of the specs include EDGE connectivity, QVGA screen, Bluetooth, music player, standard 3.5mm headset jack, 2-megapixel camera, FM Radio with RDS, and a microSD expansion slot (2GB card memory card comes in the box). Pre-loaded software includes Google Maps, some games (Spore, The Sims 2), and a social networking app that allows quick access to Facebook, Orkut and MySpace.
Perhaps the most notable thing about the MOTOCUBO is the fact that the 25% of the phone is made out of recycled plastic bottles, making it an ideal choice for eco-friendly texters… At least those who are willing to pay 549 Brazil reais (about $293) in order to grab one.

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.
