Although, we don't have 'long distance' in cellphones basically, except for foreign calls naturally. Guess operators know what they do, no matter where they're located.
Competition in the finnish market is damn rough, 5-6 operators competing over 4-5million phones. (population of finland 5+ mil).
Every finn over the age of 5 has a cellphone. Praise the Nokia.

Europe is way ahead on cell phone applications. I was watching one show where you could just punch in a parking meter's code via your cell phone and thus no need to pull out any quarters.
Another cool application, you pre-program your phone for things you're looking to buy and when you pass a store that matches an item in your database, with a better price the system calls your cell phone to tell you.
Surprised the US hasn't caught on to many of these apps yet.
