The trend across most of Europe is to buy a new phone each year and since almost all new phones in Europe are 3G I suspect a far larger proportion of the phones in *active* use are 3rd generation. The high number of 2G (more likely 2.5G actually) phones still knocking about are more likely forgotten pre-pay phones now sat in the back of drawers that still count as active subscriptions but haven't been used in yonks.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 6:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European 3G users break 100 million, 2G laughs maniacally]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yep. There was a study about Finlands 3G use and 71% of phones bought are 3G phones. Plus 41% of phones are 3G phones.<br><br>Thought dunno this is first time i see whole European figures. They do seem very low by some reason.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Pdexter]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 10:43AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European 3G users break 100 million, 2G laughs maniacally]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love GSM and the freedom it gives is priceless..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[thedesolate1]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2008 11:16AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European 3G users break 100 million, 2G laughs maniacally]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</guid><description><![CDATA[What?

I had two 3G phones that I almost never used in regards to that feature. I am not surprised by this information. Calling is still the best thing you can do with a cell phone, which is why is so shocking that their are a lot of phones out there that are not that great at it. Its also amusing that everyone picks on Motorola for not providing 3G with their phones, then we find out almost no one actually uses it!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Elias C.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 2nd 2008 9:54AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on European 3G users break 100 million, 2G laughs maniacally]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/06/30/european-3g-users-break-100-million-2g-laughs-maniacally/</guid><description><![CDATA["910.8 million wireless users" in Europe. hmm total population including Russia, Kazakhstan etc is about 700m, EU = 500m.
