Re: How serious is Nokia about making a dent in the US/Canadian Market?
 

I'll defer to you on the "nokia world" part of it, and blame my perspective on my environment, the us market. In the US market, hardware providers tend to have all that other stuff figured out before announcing products.

Re: How serious is Nokia about making a dent in the US/Canadian Market?
 

I do believe that the N900 have all that stuff figured out for their selected markets. What would be painful for a lot of people here is that, for whatever reason, the US is not considered between those markets.

I share your pain, because even if I don't live in the US, 3G in my country has the AT&T frequencies. Gotta be patient, I guess (even more since I am waiting on Harmattan).

I think with the n900, nokia really doesn't care, so to speak, if joe and mary smith are gonna go to the wal-mart and see that there are not any nokia n900s in stock and be pissed. This is the most expensive device nokia is selling right now and probably one of the most expensive on the market today, so, no, it is not for everybody at all.

More likely joe and mary never heard of the n900 so they wouldn't even know they should be upset... Maybe the n900 will catch on because of how underground and exclusive it is... Isn't that how Rap music started?? next thing you know all the kids will be doing it?! :rolleyes:

Re: How serious is Nokia about making a dent in the US/Canadian Market?
 

I agree with the point you're making but I also have to add that N900 is nowhere near the most expensive device Nokia has. N900 is in high end of smartphones but it's quite cheap compared to other Nokia models (N97, E90, 8800, etc.). (And of course there's also Vertu)

when I go here

the n900 preorder is the most expensive item

Wow, I wouldn't put the N900 and rap in the same statement. Like they say, you can't have crap without rap.

quipper8: not if you only look at the MRSP. There can't be any discounts on an unreleased product.
