This is truly doubtful. Nothing has surfaced for their very important N8, and it has features that a lot of folks would jump for if they knew about it.

In the US, subsidizing - a tactic that's unique to Central and North America by now, dropped everywhere else - is king. And Nokia has bucked that system more than once.

And honestly... "lost". North America and Japan are different ballparks. One that Nokia no longer knows how to market towards. Their best bet... set up kiosks in Best Buy Mobile centers/areas, actually do some training, make the nokiausa.com experience much better... and subsidize (I know, evil word) the E, C and other series with the fractured North American carriers.

Hell. Perhaps I do need to be on their marketing team.
