I suspect Nokia's whole problem is the US carriers. Nokia wants to maintain its brand prominence, which the carriers try to brush aside in favor of their own. As a result, you only find carriers offering a subset of Nokia's lines and none of their highest end devices.

And sadly, pretty much every other handset maker is happily complicit, which sucks.
