It's unfortunate, but not odd really. In the states there's no uniformity
across networks and little cooperation between government and telecoms,
compared to Europe and Asia. So, in the short run, new features come out in
those other places first, but in the long run, the US market isn't tied so
tightly to a single standard with all of the drawbacks that might have.
