Can anyone confirm this? 

I thought that in most of the countries where Live! was launched, it had not been able to raise much more that disappointment, given the current outrageous price for handsets, packets and services.

"The two services are pitched head to head, and according to a report in Dutch business newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad, Vodafone's MMS capability is attracting subscribers to the Live! platform. The newspaper reports that subscribers are choosing the Vodafone platform due to its superior interactivity and simpler pricing packages. Mobile retailers in the country are claiming it is the MMS capability which is attracting customers."
