Which they partially have. Companies like Apple have been successful in pushing a device that doesn't compromise much on the device (e.g. network centric branding). Though part of the app store rejection due to bandwith usage is indication that there's still some network influence. And companies like Google are pushing for unlocked phones. If this momentum continues then I can see Nokia being interested in the US market again.

If NOKIA comes up with a competitive smarphone, with good software support, they have a chance. Currently they mostly adorn Best Buys prepaid phone section for $25. I walked into ATT today and among 100s of smartphones, there was only one NOKIA, E71..........
