Although Sony has better devices than the Xperia P, it’s still a solid mid-to-high end phone with that awesome (though kinda small-ish) WhiteMagic screen, which is said to be useful even when used on a sunny day. And that phone is now at the FCC where the government paid engineers are (almost) having a time of their life, while also making sure the device is safe to use by the general public. The Xperia P unit they’re testing comes with a quad-band radio and is perfectly capable of running on AT&T’s 3G network. Does that mean we’ll see it introduced in the U.S. in the near future? Not necessarily – it just means that Sony is doing all the paperwork as it prepares for the big day. Even if AT&T doesn’t get to offer the Xperia P, you’ll still be able to grab it in an unlocked form thanks to the Japanese company’s partnership with Brightstar. In the meantime, check out our hands-on Sony Xperia P post published during Mobile World Congress…

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.
