Cricket has a new device in its portfolio for heavy texters. It’s called Cricket MSGM8 (Message Mate) and it’s a compact bar QWERTY phone with pre-installed apps for email and instant messaging. In addition, the phone comes with a 2.2-inch screen, 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, speech recognition, Mobile Web and so on.
In a nutshell, the MSGM8 is a low-end messaging phone and in that sense Cricket is asking for only $99.99 for the device. Actually, that’s the price ’till Monday, November 30th, so if you’re interested – you better hurry.

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.
