.....because americans have a real bad attitude problem...the "we art better than thou" attitude...
i think they lack knowledge in relation to mobile phones...i mean...how can nokia be doing something wrong in their marketing...when it succeeds EVERYWHERE ELSE except america? granted each market is different...but companies are based on some primary principle which constitutes as the brand image/ideology...
lets not start on the journalism....always the wrong facts, skepticism and the "if it isnt american it cant be good" egotistical attitude....
(even watching coverage on the haiti disaster and it wound me up the constant calling of haiti's capital "port of prince"....its "port oh prance"(pron.) do you think we can call "ar-ken-saw"..."ar-kan- zuz"?)
my logic is this: (try to see the relevance) its "soccer" in america yet THE REST OF THE WORLD knows it as football...enough said...
i personally think that nokia are right to ignore america and their "get it now at $99 + a 2yr subscribtion" attitude...why fight a pyrric battle in america? american mindset isnt going to change anytime soon..and nokia dominates the rest of the world...
i know i will come under fire for this from the american communty here......i hope they dont "misunderestimate" the relevance of what im saying....
