AT&T added a new Quick Messaging phone (i.e. feature phone) to its portfolio. Called Pantech Renue, it comes with a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen, side-sliding keyboard, 3-megapixel camera on the back, and dedicated keys for accessing popular social networking services. It’s also an eco-friendly device, constructed from 67% recyclable components, while the packaging is made from 95% recycled paper and non-POV soy ink. Moreover, there’s the preloaded Powersaver app and Energy Star 2.0 charger, helping you optimize the battery performance, and use energy more efficiently; as well as alerts for Earth Day, Arbor Day and other important events.
The Renue is also a tough phone, with the MIL Spec 810 G design making it resistant to sand, dust, high and low temperatures, humidity, vibration and solar radiation. All this could be yours for $69.99 with a two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate. Pantech’s baby can currently be purchased at AT&T authorized national retailers and online, while AT&T company-owned retail stores and authorized dealer locations will get it on October 7.

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.
