February 06, 2006 [General] | By Edward J. R.
GSM World Congress is the biggest event about mobile phone industry in the world and it consists of conference sessions, exhibition with many stands, press conferences and other events. Despite being located in Europe, it is a global event. It is directed at mobile operators and top managers of mobile industry, rather than at gadget geeks. New announcements about new Windows Mobile devices, products and services are expected...
3GSM 2006 for the first time takes place in Spain (previously it was located in France) and it looks like it will be the biggest 3GSM ever. We will be present at 3GSM the whole time, and reporting live from location!
