IPHONE KICKSTARTS US MOBILE SPLURGE | Part 2 of a Bloomberg series looking at the emerging smartphone market in the US. "It took a computer maker and a pager company to convince Americans a mobile phone is worth paying for, and now shoppers are splurging.

U.S. customers shelled out 40 percent more for handsets last quarter than a year earlier, just as Apple Inc. put its Web-browsing iPhone on sale and Research In Motion Ltd. brought out BlackBerry e-mail phones with video features. Spending rose to a record and jumped the most since at least 2005."
