Foreigners visiting North Korea can now use their mobile phones while in the country, Chinese state media Xinhua has reported. When entering the country, visitors need to fill out a form and provide their phone’s IMEI number to North Korea’s customs agency. There is an option to buy a SIM card from Koryolink for 50 EUR for making international calls.
Previously, foreign visitors were required to leave their phones with customs and pick them up when leaving the country. So this is a (big) step forward. Next thing would be to allow everyone to freely use Internet… or that’s asking too much.

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.
