By contrast, J-Phone, the nation's No. 3 mobile-phone operator, added 159,000 subscribers in February, 7.4 percent more than the same month a year ago. J-Phone is growing faster than its rivals because of the success of its ``picture-mail'' service that allows users to view and trade digital photographs, analysts say. DoCoMo and KDDI don't offer a similar service. Could someone send this to VZ and PCS please!!!!! This is especially true for PCS, who claims they have plenty of spectrum and possess this super all digital network using this superior CDMA technology. This will put so much pressure on the AWE and Cingular networks. How is GPRS going to be able to handle that competition?
