American journals and journalists, not to mention bloggers, report on what sells in America. If Nokia wants to play in the US market they need to have a more substantial US presence. Right now, the vast majority of Nokia phones sold in the US are at the very low end (like the 1661 for $20 with a $10 prepaid card included). Nokia needs to enter into contracts with US carriers to sell high end phones (because almost all phones are sold by carriers who also provide almost all product support). They also need to start making big ad buys. When that happens you will see more Nokia coverage.

BTW, America, as a whole, gets cars. However America prefers Japanese cars that work to European cars that don't. And I speak as one who has owned two Fiats (Fix It Again, Tony), two Alfas, currently drives a BMW, and is waiting with baited breath for Fiat to reenter the American market so I can get the (rumored to be coming to America) Fiat 500 Abarth or Alfa Brera.
Fix Or Repai Daily (FORD) too!
