I find it interesting to compare the 3 big regions in communication technology.

Japan: Implements state-of-the-art technology extremely fast. Results in a high gadget-factor, but is often based on immature and buggy technology. Impressive, but not necessarily working very well.

Europe: Waits a few years. Sees what works in Japan and allows it to mature before it is deployed. Creators of GSM and 3G.

USA: Lags behind both Europe and Japan with its trend of "inventing" technology that is almost similar to older technology already deployed in Europe/Japan.

3G was created in Europe????? Ummm, no. Your "interesting" comparison seems to have left you sadly misinformed.
