BTW, have you guys noticed how much media coverage the North American phone companies (Motohorrible, Plam, Alppes, Crackberry) get when their device are launched? It is just disproportionate compared to rest of the worlds.

Lets say Samsung, HTC, Nokia or Sony Ericsson launch a device they dont get HALF or media space as those other companies do.

I am not even talking about the Alppes PR subsidiary, Engadget, but even if you compare other more serious news places.

I just think Yankees are desperate to regain first place at all costs even with this denial that other firms can/might do better than their firms.

Or am I paranoid? Am I?! AM I?!?!?!?
