Every time there is a new telecom standard, we here the sam complaints. When it comes to mobile phones, new systems seams to pop up evey 10 years and they are always said to have no future.
Here in Sweden where got GSM (2G) ten years ago, it was said that it would never work. The battery capacity was not enough, it didn't add any value and so on. Eventually everyone changed to 2G.
Today when 3G is comming out, we can hear the same argument. The battery capacity will be very bad and the converage will be limited, though the later problem is solved by having a dual mode phone (3G & 2G).
