Did You Ask for a 3G?

Who are the real customers of cellphone makers? The consumers or the mobile networks?

Do 3G handsets really provide the features needed and addressed by consumers? Or are they just tech gimmicks offered to encourage us mainly to upload videos, download ringtones, etc. (therefore enhancing the revenues of mobile networks)?

There's no doubt that technological converge is here to stay. But does it make the life of the consumer easier?
The debate is open for comments.
