    does anyone know when will america be using 3g technology like video calling?
    i have a phone that supports this and i feel like its a waste not using this.

    I had a freakin 3G phone from HK 2 yrs ago and thought I'd be able to use it in Canada. No such luck. Some dude said I can still use the 3G phone but I have to disable the 3G function permanently. Of course I wouldn't do that, so I had to get another phone without the 3G on purpose.

    Cingular / AT&T already has 3G implemented in the bay area... just need both people to have 3G phones and on the Cingular / AT&T network for it to work.

    You can buy video conference capable phones from Cingular dealers already...

    3G for tmobile won't be for a few more years... they are very slow... they just got their EDGE running not long ago...
