Walmart and Straight Talk Wireless are preparing to start offering the iPhone without requiring customers to sign a single piece of paper. Starting on January 11, interested users will be able to grab Apple’s smartphone in more than 2,000 Walmart stores and online at Walmart.com, and use it with Straight Talk’s $45 no contract unlimited talk, text and data plan. Or if they need to call abroad, go for a slightly more expensive $60/month plan that adds unlimited international calling to more than 1,000 destinations in Mexico, Canada, India and other countries.
As for the phone pricing, the iPhone 5 will be available in black and white for $649 for the 16GB model only, while the 8GB iPhone 4 (guess they actually mean iPhone 4S) could be yours in black and white for $449. Like that’s not enough, Walmart is further sweetening the deal offering a special financing for $25 a month with a Walmart Credit Card. Sweet.

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.
