Strange. This must be a difference in perspective based on unique characteristics of carriers in the United States. As an American, SMS and MMS are ubiquitous, but they represent a brutal cost structure that makes me not want to use them at all. As for WAP, I've seen a lot of phones equipped with it that go unused based not just on the same reason (the cost structure of internet access on those phones) but also on usability: it wasn't until Mobile Safari and my iPhone's flat rate that I even wanted to attempt mobile internet access on a regular basis.
