I bought a new phone recently and found it quite difficult to get a decent one that didn't play music or take photographs or do tap dancing or something.

The telecoms all over Europe spent the last couple of years getting wildly excited about 3G networks etc -- the public, in spite of there being more mobile phones than people in Europe now, are for the most part decidedly underwhelmed.

Weirdly, people mostly seem to want to use their phones for making phone calls.
