HTC Wings cancelled?

Disagree. To the average phone user, 3G is just 'faster'. Nothing more, nothing less. Most people aren't aware that they can't use GPRS on a call (how many normal users try to download email whilst phoning people).

People on Modaco often forget that we're a technical minority. Stand outside Carphone Warehouse and do a survey of people going in/out of the shop as to what their understanding is of the differences between 3G and 2G phones, and I suspect half of them won't even know what you're talking about.

I agree with you that the average phone user doesn't care about 3G yet. However, the average user would also never consider a smartphone of any sort. The average smartphone user would be far more likely to understand the true benefits of 3G and HSDPA.
