CTIA and The Smartphone Summit, held at the start of April in Las Vegas, was one of the flagship mobile phone events in America. Rafe was there, from All About Symbian, to find out how the North American continent is viewing smartphones in 2006. His full report is online now.

Along with Symbian's plans for the year, Rafe took time to check out new devices and features from Nokia and Sony Ericsson, reporting on the keynotes, and trying to fighure out just what makes the European and American smartphone markets so different.
