I'm starting to hope that they don't crack the US market. Apparently they believed that they didn't need it so far - same goes for Japan - so why do it now?

It'll end up in failure, again. The X7 and the C5-03 were both recently canceled. The fact that they did that shows me that either they don't have offerings that warrant advertisement in this area or that they just weren't going to be big sellers.

Nokia needs to refocus in the USA and I'm afraid it's not going to net them as much of a return as they think... it'll be years for them in this market. Even more in Japan. They've been absent from all but the hardcore of Nokia fans in terms of mindshare.

Develop that "most trusted" brand like they have in Asia and India. Those areas are busting in terms in growth. The USA market is much smaller and apparently harder to break into.

So no... they don't need the US market. They hadn't attempted in the recent past, why start now?
