NOKIA presence in US is nonexistent. To even do well on Amazon is a good accomplishment so far, when we are talking about a device that rightly pointed is not most advanced. They slashed the prices and ATT wants another manufacturer to compete with iphone. This will help, until next itineration of MS will take NOKIA to a new level and hopefully be more competitive from specs perspecitve. I think that you are wrong. Pepople will like the simplicity and smoothness. 99% of the people care for few simple things and this phone delivers. It may not be a huge seller, but it will at least give NOKIA a foothold into the US market and help them re-introduce themselves. I think their strategy will payoff. At least Lumia 900 is making some waves.
This is not a war. A war would imply a fight. This is not a fight, this is simply slaughter. Nokia continues to screw up badly by scheduling a release date on a holiday when all the stores are closed. Online sales at Amazon were the only place it sold well, and I suspect it won't sell well for long. Let's see what the people that bought it think of this already-outdated thing.
