Tex you are missing the point again. When you have tried to state that the US market show that Nokia is behind producer a or b you should expect people to point out that there is a world outside of the USA. Your usual response in this situation is to state that it is the most competitive market in the world and then claim everyone is a Nokia apologiser.

Nokia doesn't have a huge presence in the US but there are lots of reasons for that. The US is a different market to europe and Nokia are european centric so it is only to be expected that their strategy would also differ.

The other point you ignore time and again is that the Maemo team are a tiny part of Nokia so they simply don't have the resources of a larger company.
