And while operators in other countries often requests for more features, local carriers seems to be limiting features... plus, U.S. in general has been slow to adopt the latest technology, not so much the people, but the geography of things... it's not easy to roll out WCDMA coverage for example. Especially when more than half the country is on the CDMA rather than GSM bandwagon. So why spend the money on a 3G phone, when you can't make use of half the features (fast downloads, video telephony, on demand videos...). Even in areas of 3G coverage, the frequency used is different (1900 vs 2100). Or, perhaps spend a little less on a "dumbed down" version of the same phone available in other markets? Why not just go with a "free after rebate and contract" flip phone? (Well actually Nokia was doing pretty well in the "free phone" market.) I think not only does Nokia need to strategize ways to promote the advanced phones here, consumer thinking and carrier expectations need to change too.
