3G Wireless Services in the USA

Keith,

<< IMO, the wireless phone carriers are the ones preventing the phone makers from including any music features. >>

That evidently is the reason Motorola has delayed its iTunes phone, and I can't say that I blame the carriers for that.

<< more than likely it will be the gsm companies like Cingular. They are much better at marketing than the cdma players like Verizon. >>

Maybe. Cingular really hasn't done as much as they could with data services, but legitimately they have their hands full putting the AT&T and Cingular back offices together at the same time they expand their WCDMA footprint on their nationwide EDGE network.

One thing that Cingular has kept in place is the (Loudeye) mMode MusicStore that AT&T launched and they have relabled:

musicstore.mymmode.com

The platform's described here:

loudeye.com

I fully expect them to update that store to with capabilities similar to what O2 will launch in Germany and It would not surprise me to see them qualify and stock the N91 Music Phone.

<< It will be interesting to see what sprint can do with their ev do platform this summer. Verizon has wasted the better part of 2 years without making ev do recognizable on any level. >>

Speaking of Verizon and Veracast (a service that I wouldn't pay $15/mo for) Michael Oryl of Mobile Burn published a rather comprehensive review of LG's EV-DO VX8000 on Verizon and Veracast service last Friday:

Best.
