The Ugliest 3G Phone
The BBC has released an article about the poor sales of 3G phones in the UK.
Third-generation mobile network, 3, has attracted far fewer customers for its video services than it wanted. Launched in March, 2003 the UK's first 3G operator was aiming for a million customers by the end of 2003, but only has 210,000.
In a recent readers' choice poll by T3, two early 3G models did not do well. The prize of ugliest gadget went to Motorola's A830 mobile with the most over-rated prize given to NEC's e606.
But analysts say 2004 will see a increased demand for pocket-sized gadgets which will play video, and more handset makers will be joining the video phone market.
