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.

    Seriously? E71 300.21.012? I updated to that version 18/06/2009 :p Dont know how I got it, cause I havent found that version on any other E71 I tried to update.

    Firmware for Nokias is usually available for a few months before they do a really official release. in june it was available only for e66/71, not e63/n96 (AFAIK)

    I just got to laugh @ myself: I had swapped the SD card, synchronized everything with outlook, copied phone memory to my PC, done a full backup of the phone and jotted down some notes on how I like to keep things in case they’d fail to restore. Only then did I look at the digits and started kicking myself.

    Damn, i needed a new E71 firmware too. Podcasting has crapped out lately and even a hard reset wont fix it.

    My RM-247 N96 is still stuck on v10.043.

    Nokia Singapore really doesn’t like their users to push out updates. This is what I really despise about them… urgh…
