Self-depricating Americans? What is the world coming to?
@all
MMS can be sent to anyone, irrespective of network in Europe.

What is the current state of 3G in the U.S.? I am also interested in what services are available, not just handset technology, but the services customers can access from their handsets.

Umm... Pretty much none. AT&T Wireless just recently launched the first 3G network in the US, and its only available in 6 cities (the 6 biggest markets). I don't have any details on this, but you can find information on the web (http://www.attws.com).

What are mobile services like? What sort of consumer services are available to customers? In Europe mobile phone users can download music tracks to their handsets; music can be played to callers on voicemail and instead of a ringing tone; discounts and coupons can be sent to mobile phones for use at various shops and businesses, etc; are there similar services in the U.S.?
I believe that there are plans afoot to introduce the ability to pay for goods and services using mobile phones across Europe; such a service is already available in Japan and certain countries in Europe. Are there any plans for such a service in the U.S.?

It seems strange that the U.S. should be so lacking in terms of both technology and service in relation to mobile communication.

Why has it taken the U.S. networks so long to fully adopt GSM? Is their recalcitrant attitude more to do with economics or is it a case of thinking that the rest of the world should go along with them?
