This is so true. Having worked in the telecommunications world for a few years, the carriers have a choke hold over cell phone technology. Just look at the differences in phones coming from Europe and especially Asia. We are way behind both in cell phone tech and infrastructure. Verizon doesnt even enable java on their phones. Couple that with the restrictive policies of the carriers if you just want to upgrade your phone. With new technology coming every 6 months in phones, why do I have to wait two years before I can get a new phone?
