Customers slow to use fancy cell phone features 

An article from Reuters that puts a damper on the acceptance and popularity of multimedia enabled cell phones in Europe.

"There are numerous obstacles to the mass uptake of the new handsets and services in Europe. They are expensive, they are hard to use, existing wireless networks are too slow for efficient Web surfing and there are interoperability issues for both handsets and networks.

But perhaps most significant, is that there are few features on offer that help ease the pressures of modern life, such as an integrated garage door opener.

Analysts are saying many Europeans may not flock to the new services for another five years".
