The US, which for good or bad drives global pop culture, Nokia is regarded as a provider of cheap,low-end, low-function phones with minimal cache.
sorry to disappoint you, but people outside the US could care less what her pop culture considers "in".

The well it is unsubsidized argument is dead and stupid to consider in the US.
you're blaming the manufacturers for your sh*tty telcom regulations? if nokia would have listened to you, and bowed down before US carriers, there would be no n900.

matter of fact is: the US has one of the world's worst carrier systems. i didn't realize how bad it really is until i started reading this forum regularly. you should stand up and demand better regulations. that would lead to more competition and lower prices, and a weaker carrier-lock-in.

ranting about nokia not willing to give in is just useless and dangerous, because it means you have given up trying to change something where it _really_ matters.
