We don’t usually associate TracFone with cool devices; quite the contrary, the prepaid carrier is known to sell some of the world’s worst phones which are often “good enough” for those visiting the U.S. Now they’re moving up the (phone) ladder with the introduction of LG Optimus Zip. It’s a low-to-mid end Android smartphone that packs a side-sliding QWERTY keyboard, making it ideal for heavy texters. Additionally, it also comes with a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen, 3.2-megapixel camera, 3G (EV-DO) and Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth 3.0, 800MHz processor, microSD expansion slot, while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the show. Yup, it’s the same phone we know as LG Enlighten or LG Optimus Slider. Why carriers keep insisting on their own phone names is beyond me… but that’s another story, which we won’t get into here…

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.
