Maybe the biggest phone producer in the world is.n't really interested in a realitve small and difficult market like North America. In the US Nokia is dependant on providers. Not so in the rest of the world. I pay 20€ / month for phone and streaming internet. You?
But thanks, good to know; I'll take my 6 year old 6021 to the States. It works a lot better there and on more places than a Verizons 70$ / month contract in a US Palm.
Verizon blocks other providers in the US, while my Netherlands KPN contract logs in with all GSM providers in the US.
