cell phones is somthing the us is behind on though, i dont know why they decided to go on their own and use the 1900mhz system, but over here most countries have the same system and thats why we get the latest phone always, in the states the only way to get the latest phone is to wait like 2 years until its officially released or if its released especially for the states or realesed at the same time over here (rare) nokia 3650 (my phone) p800. or to buy it on ebay. thing is carriers here dont give you a phone u have to get ur own phone, people here change their phone every time a new one comes out (spoiled).
the thing i find really funny about the states though is that if someone calls you from a house phone, you pay! or from cell to cell you both pay! thats physco. here no matter who calls you they pay, u only pay when you make a call, and in some cases u pay for recieving msgs from msn messneger, but not from just normal cells. but we dont even have that service in saudi, saudi telecom is gay about stuff like that (We dont even have mms, cuz they are worried about porn pics floating around, but theres bluetooth for that, they are soo stupid imo), in kuwait they have it, and i think egypt too.
