The BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981, RIM’s fancy looking BlackBerry smartphone made in co-operation with Porsche, has been caught at the FCC where government employed engineers are testing its radiation levels, making sure the device is safe to be used by the general public. At the same time, I’m sure some of them are comparing their cheap-lookin’ BlackBerrys with this model, which let’s face it does look expensive. And expensive it is, with some reports suggesting RIM may ask up to $2,000 for the unlocked BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 (though with a carrier contract that price will go down).
Anyway, the version of RIM’s baby FCC folks are playing with sings along WCDMA 850MHz and 1900MHz bands, making it suitable for AT&T’s and Rogers’ networks. This, however, doesn’t mean any of the two carriers will pick it up – it just tells us that’s an option and that there’s hope something like that will happen. We’ll make sure to keep up with the news and let you know as soon as we hear something on that front…

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.
