The new Samsung Galaxy S III Mini is now available across many European countries, including France, Germany and the UK.
In France and Germany, Amazon is offering the unlocked (SIM-free) phone for 369 EUR and 343 EUR, respectively. We’re not sure whether local carriers are offering it, but that will undoubtedly happen in the next month or so.
As for the UK, you can get the phone for free from Three as long as you commit on a rather pricy (for what the Galaxy S III Mini is offering) 28 GBP/month plan. Or get it on prepay for 269.99 GBP plus a top up. Alternatively, there are phone retailers like Expansys and the Carphone Warehouse, asking some 300 GBP for the contract-free device.
We can’t really suggest Galaxy S III’s smaller brother as the same money gets you Sammy’s last year’s flagship, Galaxy S2, which is still a better device with bigger screen and a slightly faster CPU…

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.
