This is another perpetually running argument on this forum...
Nokia vs USA
Some say they just don't need it. Some say they couldn't make it.
Can they afford to ignore the us market?

But who do you blame for that? Nokia or keep pointing the finger to the market they've not advertised in for... ages?

Uphill struggle doesnt even begin to describe the task..
However, that does not excuse sloppy and unprofessional reporting as seen in the video posted on TechCrunch. There is a difference in reporting "Nokia's market share in the U.S. is less than [insert number and source here]" and "This isn't the iPhone. I mean who cares about Nokia?".

I think Meego should be associated with Intel, not Nokia when advertised in the USA (even though both companies are working on it). Intel at least has the respect of the United States and has the benefit of being a USA based company (helps with the pro-USA crowd).

I'd say that they need to start speaking it up now, everywhere. Developer previews are great and all; but not all people have a developer's mentality or insight.
Marketing. Embrace it. And make it happen now and universal.

The USA market is incredibly backwards in many aspects; and its needs are very different to what Nokia is used to deliver; and hence it has in its DNA. Wouldn't be the first case (like cars, no one uses cars the way USA do). Just for example, I can't believe that in the USA, the person that receives the call has to pay for it. We, here in the third world, haven't had such treatment since 1992.
I think that sometime this past years; someone at Nokia ran numbers and found that pleasing the USA market was not worth the investment, and decided to ignore them.
I am pretty sure that, revenue wise, it is still not worth the investement to focus on the USA market.
The problem for Nokia right now is that the USA market is noisy.
