Although we don’t hear about Micromax that often, it is a well known brand in India which is steadily eating the market share from the Nokias and Samsungs of the world. Their latest product, Micromax Q80, is a QWERTY keyboard-equipped candybar made for heavy texters and folks who like to keep up with their buddies across social networks while on the go. Moreover, this baby also rocks two SIM cards slots, which is an important feature in the country with about a dozen mobile operators.
In addition, the Micromax Q80 also comes with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen, optical trackpad, 3-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing VGA camera, stereo speakers, FM radio, Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth and a memory card slot. When it comes to pre-installed software, there are such apps as Opera Mini, Snaptu, Bloomberg UTV, ngpay, Burnout, Newshunt, Facebook and Nimbuzz. All this could be yours for Rs. 4,999, which is about $112 or €79.

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.
