Oakley and Nokia collaborated in Vancouver for a special limited edition Nokia N97 mini for Oakley sponsored Olympians. Only 200 of these were made, hence you (and me) probably won’t get a chance to play with one.
But don’t be too sad. Basically, it’s the regular N97 mini with the Oakley Thunderbird logo laser etched onto the back of the phone and some pre-loaded Oakley content.
If I was looking for a limited edition N97 mini, I would pick that very cool lookin’ RAOUL version which is (or was) available in Singapore. Then there’s the Gold Edition that is (or again was) offered by Nokia Poland…
Nokia (and other handset makers for that matter) keep pushing limited edition devices all the time and some of these special phones actually reach decent sales figures. Personally, I believe the idea is to reach people who may not like the original product, but are compelled to grab one as soon as they see it being endorsed by some celebrity, or dipped and plated in the good ol’ gold.

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.
