1, 2, & 3: As much as us Americans would like to have hi-tech phones like these over here, it's only common sense that we won't get them as fast as Korea/Japan (who cater to their homelands first of course). Yes, I understand that with the whole FCC process, it can go a little faster since we don't even currently have any phones out that are more than 2 megapixels. But still, understand this: when America releases something first, it usually takes awhile for it to get to the rest of the world (same with cell phones). Asia gets the cool cell phones first, then they move on to Europe, and finally us (don't ask me why they decided to go that route instead of the opposite way which would make us get it before the Europeans). But don't worry, I hear we're getting that 3.2 megapixel camera phone from Sony Ericsson this July 2006 or something. Hey, it's better than nothing. For now, let's just sit back and drool over this technology.
P.S. It's not about greed and narrowmindedness. If it was, then we'd never get cell phones from these countries, period. We'd just get strictly American phones made from American cell phone manufacturers such as Motorola (yes, Motorola is American, not Japanese like some people think).
