I can appreciate logical conversation and analysis. It's doubtful that the OS sells anything. However, given that it is still Nokia, it's not a WP7 phone, the OS might factor in more than they've originally thought. Simply put, I fear that Europe doesn't want anything to do with WP7 in its current iteration. I've traveled enough and American enough (and lived abroad enough) to know that WP7 is honestly a decidedly American affair in terms of UI and workflow. Now that I could be wholly wrong; but I just don't see WP7 catching on in Europe nor Asia.
