Because they don't market in America. If you want a good American computer, you can go down to PC World in London (the UK store, not the US magazine) and look at, buy, and take home an Alienware Aurora. If I want an N900, there is no where within at least 200 miles of my house that has one I can see and if Nokia's two (that's 2) American stores close there may be no store in America (that would be nearly 10,000,000 square kilometers) with it on display. It's not my fault, it's Nokia's decision.

The phone that's currently getting the most bad press is the Google Nexus because of the difficulty in buying one, the lack of support, and the return fees. The US press slams US products all the time.

Actually it should be Pòtoprens since the French no longer own it. Just out of curiosity, do BBC newsreaders call it Paree? Ours call it Paris and the French be damned.

Excuse me, the English know it as football. Nokia employees would call it jalkapallo. Soccer is an English term we stole. American football is derived from Rugby football whose rules were defined at Rugby and which used the term football a century before the effete students at Cambridge came up with their "football" rules.

Actually it's Pyrrhic and your education seems to have failed you. If anything, it's the other companies who play the role of Pyrrhus against the relative size and might of Nokia/Rome. But like Rome, Nokia seems to have become stagnant, content to rest on their laurels.
