You asked about no choice across EU?
I used to live in Sweden, one of the cuttingedge countries regarding cellphones. I remember when the first cellphones appeared on the market 20 years ago.
They where huge and heavy but the worked just fine, of cource they where all ananlog. New kinds of analog cellphones came to daylight, 450Mhz analog was quite common just 7-8 year ago, then the digital era started. Since we have had some years to deploy equipment, we have covered every spot almost. If you have that coverage, analog is like no option anymore.
Another thing that probably helps EU to keep the pace up compared to the US is, in europe you dont have to pay for incomming calls. That makes a big difference. I can use my cellphone and always be avaliable and answer free of charge.
I now live in the US (NYC and DC) I can tell you, The coverage is quite bad in DC and Manhattan. But I hope thats just locally;-)
No sig... At least no important funny message in the sig..

It would be fun to include this postscriptcode in a HP Laserjet 4 with postscript and a HP Jetdirectcard to get a Webserver/Postscriptprinter...
Who will be the first to make it happen ??
