Cracking the crazy US market would take more than Nokia-- it would take the combined effort of every single manufacturer getting on the same page and standing tough (or the FCC and FTC doing their jobs). I don't see that happening.
This is all true. And it bears repeating. People should know Nokia's history.
I think it makes it all the more admirable (and amazing )that Nokia continues to address the U.S. market with their ideologies intact.
What other handheld device manufacturer has the means & ways to tell the U.S. carriers, Fxxx Yxx!!?
