I'm now since a couple days in the US and even though I'm not a fan of Nokia's windows plans, I'm really disappointed that nobody knows about the Lumia 900 and there isn't a single advertisement (even in TV). I'm not in LA or NY, but in a city with +1.5Mio habitants. But I will keep looking for that phone though

The reaction on my MeeGo device was wonderful though. People also didn't know it at all, but were very interested in seeing something that isn't Android or iPhone. In Europe I don't really get big reactions when I take my N9 out of the pocket, but here pretty much all the time I've been ask "What phone is that???". I generally think Americans look much more at their phone (text more instead of calling, look things up etc...)

A guy I met at a meeting used to work for Apple till 2 years ago and was deeply involved in the hole iPhone project (doesn't work there anymore because of working conditions). I was surprised he didn't know the N9 (heard about Nokia using a Linux device(s) but thats all) but even ask me to send him one, once I'm back home

What Nokia does really well is, to provide such a good navigation software. I realized that Americans are so dependent on GPS since street signs are not as clear or just completely missing. My phone could already help out pretty well and I got asked "what app I'm using and if it wouldn't be very expensive to buy such a navigation app".
The Lumia-advertiser should maybe focus a bit more on that... (at least I think the Lumia Drive app works similar to the N9 one).

Well all in all, Nokia presence is unfortunately = 0 but interest is here (at least in MeeGo)
