Europe more into the mobile web than USA
comScore Networks has provided statistics on the use of mobile web services.
Note that no Asian country is included in the statistics, which is a pity. It would be very interesting to see how Japan, Korea and China stack up. Probably very well.
It mentions that Nokia phones are dominating for mobile web access in Europe, but that's simply because Nokia dominates, period. Same thing with USA where Motorola dominates.
That so many Americans access other portals than the operators' while Europeans mainly access the operators' portal is quite remarkable. Because in USA mobile web services are mainly accessed from smartphones and hence can provide a more full experience? I don't know, and comScore doesn't provide a convincing argument either.
Europeans More Likely than Americans to Use Mobile Phones to Access the Internet
