Phone companies like Verizon Wireless -- co-owned by Verizon (VZ Quote) and Vodafone (VOD Quote) -- and Cingular -- a venture of AT&T (T Quote) and BellSouth (BLS Quote) -- have been busy upgrading networks to third-generation technologies like UMTS and evolution-data only, or EV-DO. But returns on those billion-dollar investments have been slow in coming.

Despite the lack of blockbuster sales, gearmakers have touted the advantages of even faster wireless access tech like WiMax, a catchall name synonymous with 4G.

"I have a hard time getting excited about 4G when we haven't seen the 3G take off yet," says Greenholtz.
