I had not appreciated that the real reason Nokia has not been successful in the US was due to the legal battle with Qualcomm over CDMA patents. As a result the US carriers were afraid to carry Nokia.

Now that this has settled there seems to be growing activity with the various carriers and Nokia Handsets. It also explains the aggressive position with the patent lawsuit against Apple.

The Path is now also clear for LTE,Step 5 and more choice for Joe Average.
