One thing I wish we have here in the US is the choice of mobile phones. In the Philippines and other countries, people have hundreds of choices. Here in the US, we are limited to whatever our mobile phone provider offers which isn't much. The phones are also locked so you don't have the option of using it with another provider. Then, there is the problem of traveling with your mobile phone. If you plan to go out of the country, you are stuck with an expensive phone usage rates. When we went to Europe this summer, we looked for unlocked cell phones on EBay. We used this phone all around Europe. We bought a Sim card in Italy and it was very easy to set up. It definitely was cheaper than using the hotel's phone to call back home.
