Actually I have been working on location specfifc 2g mobile services for the past few months.
You use cell positioning which all phones can do. Any new symbian based phone plus a tiny little app can do a multitude of location based serves including
"beep me when a single girl my age who also likes ninja manga is nearby".
but hey like i said somewhere else shame no one has the imagination to use whats there. I agree completly that the american of idea of speed = good is such misconception.
But then who doesnt like speed hey:D

another case of a great technology in the hands of people with no imagination.
I can think of a million uses for being able to send data over the air at speeds higher than 1-4 kb/s
For a start a p800 with an ssh client and i got me a reason:)
Other more general purposes are mobile internet, which means email and so on wherever you are. I have had this for the past year and been very very happy this ability. Its like when i didnt have a mobile. 'why do i need a mobile?' then u get it and it changes the way u live and u ask urself things like how did i live before, fast data over mobile networks will be the same. we just need some imagination first.
You know being able to see the keys in the dark is a real pain. Even when u know where 95% of all the keys are sometimes you just want to orientate yourself or locate that funny character or maybe even the ~ on a Mac. And changing volume, and moving between music tracks is something i do all the time. [alt gr + right arrow]. It is far quicker than selecting winamp and pressing next and then going back to the other app. Get over yourself the world is bigger than programming and that trusy old IBM keyboard you have from 88...
