T-Mobile UK will soon launch another entry-level Android smartphone – T-Mobile Rapport, which is actually their own version of the Huawei U8180. The same device is also offered by Orange UK as Stockholm and Vodafone has its own version (Vodafone Smart) with slightly changed specs (worse camera) – Vodafone Smart.
We don’t know when exactly the new phone will be released, but I see no reason why that wouldn’t happen sooner rather than later. Specs wise, this little fella’ comes with a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, 3.5mm headset jack, microSD memory card slot, while Android 2.2 Froyo is running the show. All said, we’re pretty confident T-Mobile will offer the Rapport free of charge with pretty much any 18 or 24-month contract that includes mobile data. Similarly, this baby should sell for well under 200 EUR with PAYG plans…

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.
