Really?? As an American I can appreciate technology and innovation from places outside of the USA... wholeheartedly. When you speak of Nokia, you mean a successful company that has/is resting on it's laurels. There's no forward thinking, no innovation. Where is their focus?? Maemo?? MeeGo?? Symbian?? High end, low end smartphones?? They are all over the place, hence not moving forward. And as Nokia continues to rule the mid to low end feature phone in Europe and other countries, North America has been wanting/needing a high end smartphone that has most recently come from HTC, Samsung, Motorola and Apple and has been completely ignored by Nokia. Is there any idea what the ethos of Nokia is?? Does anyone know??

There is no foothold at all in North America. Who's fault is that?? The old, stubborn traditions of the previous regime hopefully has been put to rest.... but in what direction?? Some of the top level executives directly involved with the Maemo and MeeGo projects have left to other competitors. All we hear from Nokia is S^3. That's fantastic for your low end phones but what about your high end??

Sorry, but North America (unlike most of Europe) crave smartphones....high end ones and dual core is here, like it or not. Large capacitive Super AMOLED screens are here and by ignoring these and other specs that are coming into the fold from other handset manufacturers from all over the world, you are alienating and ignoring a LARGE marketshare.

That is fine Nokia if you wish to toil with cheap, low end feature phones that you sell by the million every month to placate your precious S^ but if you continue to turn a blind eye to innovation and forward thinking, you too will end up like Palm.... desolate and alone, only to be bought out by a software and computer systems company. Even with new leadership, you've shown no vision.... it's already too late.

And thanks to this community (not Nokia) and the real smart people who are forward thinkers, my device continues to be relevant and continues to impress current "high end" Android users even after a year of release.

And for the record Micro$oft is definitely NOT the answer either...!!!
