2005 the year of 3G phones?
Some interesting quotes:
"3G adoption is now growing faster than the well-established 2 and 2.5G networks did at the same point of evolution..."
"However, it was clear at this week's 3GSM Congress, that the world's leading handset makers are seriously taking up the challenge to produce compelling mobile phones. Two leading phone makers also unveiled the first-ever phones of the future that promise to offer TV viewing opportunities on the move."
"The fight is also on to reduce the weight and size of the first rather 'clunky' 3G phones that came to market. Samsung is pushing some of the smallest, lightest phones around including what it claims to be the world's smallest 3G handset, the SGH-Z500."
""There is tremendous growth in 3G," Nokia's Tuuti emphasised. Nokia estimates the number of 3G users will hit the 70 million mark by the end of 2005 compared with 16 million at the end of last year."
