Unfortunately in the US, the service providers still drive the market -- not the consumer's demand for better technology.
Most Americans own the phone that came free with their plan, and are happy it takes pictures and makes calls. Interesting note -- most of the 'telescopic antennas' on american phones are not functional, just there because we think we get better signal when we pull them out.
Slowly, increasing demand for technology is changing the market. HSUPA and HSDPA (high speed upload and download) will be available in the states by 2007. This will change everything -- 10.8Mbps download and 4Mbps upload. This is already available in South Korea.
