Probably because Nokia is filled with incompetent and uncompetitive, comfortably well-paid executives and created policies and deals to make sure you couldn't buy one if you wanted to--probably no matter how much you wanted to spend short of personally traveling around the world to purchase it. This is pathetic and, even with my complaints about their appalling behavior of the past, this is by far the WORST I've ever seen from Nokia. Truly pathetic.
