What happens in the US has never been a big part of Nokias success. I live in UK and I assure you the British mobile phone industry is several years ahead of the US in terms of smartphone usage. This is not phone to bring Nokia "back into the market" when Nokia supplies 40% of the global market and 50% of the smart phone market. Rather this is a platform requiring refinement before it will reaches the mass market in the future and eventually replace symbian for nokias high end devices.
