3GSM - Au Revoir Cannes, for the Moment at Least

At 3GSM this year, which was held in Cannes for the last time (for now anyway), there were plenty of announcements but the show didn't appear to take anybody's breath away. It almost seemed like an extension of the 2004 show, but with fewer surprises (not that 3GSM 2004 itself provided the industry with many surprises).

So, what were the main talking points at this year's show?

There were two main topics that appeared to be on everybody's lips — IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) and high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA).
