Those of you looking to get a phone with MetroPCS contract may be glad to know that a selection of the carrier’s portfolio, including both feature phones and smartphone, is now available on Amazon.com. It’s not like buying a phone from MetroPCS’ website was a problem — it’s just that Amazon has its own clientele who more often than not prefer buying just about anything from the online retailer.
After purchasing a handset on Amazon.com, customers will be able to activate service either by logging on to metropcs.com, visiting a MetroPCS retail location or by simply dialing *228 from their mobile device.
Finally we have the words of MetroPCS’ Tom Keys (president and COO) to share – he said: “Making our phones available on Amazon.com is just one way that we’re providing consumers with a convenient purchase option that will allow them to have it all with MetroPCS’ services.”

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.
