Highly Ranked

I suspect these figures are way off. 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.

Yep. There was a study about Finlands 3G use and 71% of phones bought are 3G phones. Plus 41% of phones are 3G phones.

Thought dunno this is first time i see whole European figures. They do seem very low by some reason.
