America is the toughest nut for Nokia to crack. When Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, Elop's predecessor, took the helm in 2006, he made one big promise -- he would focus fully on fixing Nokia's problems in the United States, spending a week each month on it. But Nokia has continued to lose market share in the U.S.; the company now has well under 10 percent of the market, lagging behind rivals such as Apple, Samsung and LG.

Wow. Seriously?
I really don't know how well will Elop do, but i can already tell that he can't do any worst than OPK in NA.

Right, then, Mr Elop, grab a pick-axe and get moving. We haven't got all day. Nokia's already virtually non-existent enough as it is without you loitering here listening to me. Go on! Piss off, already.

Wow. Seriously?

I can understand the problems Kallasvuo have had as Symbian doesn't have the history there and it's very much weighted for Europe and Asia, so why would anybody over there get phone with Symbian when you got Iphone and Android where your services are 80% about North America. Not to talk about the bad press Symbian have been getting globally.
Maybe it's a advantage that people over NA haven't tried Symbian at least before S^4 comes out.
MeeGo is being quoted as THE phone OS from Nokia to take North America (a bit too much really.... i wouldn't mind to own MeeGo phone over here in Europe either....). While i wouldn't even dream about MeeGo taking over Iphone or Android in NA hopefully they will at least get the attention and are picked by large carriers.
The non existant manufacturer over smartphones, Samsung pretty much did everything in 3 months with Galaxy S over NA that Nokia have been trying to do for 4 years now.

For people from Finland, there's a 7 page Elop interview in todays Kauppalehti Optio. Mostly talks about things pre-Nokia, but it also includes some general stuff about what he's going to do as CEO of Nokia. Worth reading, if you're at all interested about Nokia.
Looong article over Reuters.
