If you live in Britain and are looking to jump into the Windows Phone realm, perhaps you want HTC’s 8X. If you also happen to dislike contracts, here’s an offer worth considering.
Two phone retailers, Unlocked Mobiles and Clove, are now selling HTC’s baby for 398.98 GBP and 399.98 GBP, respectively. Translated into US dollars, that’s $637 which we find unacceptable. Sure enough, we’re talking about a brand new phone, but that’s still hefty pricing considering the hardware under the hood.
Speaking of which, the HTC 8X packs a 4.3-inch 720p HD Super LCD 2 screen, 8-megapixel camera on the back, 2.1-megapixel front-facing camera, dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz, 1GB of RAM, 16GB of internal memory, Wi-Fi, HSPA+ and so on.
So there’s no quad-core CPU inside and the screen is somewhat small by today’s standards. Definitely not worth $637… What do you say?

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.
