1.Nokia has said they will be introducing many more smart phones in the U.S. In 2012. I think we each will find our “right” phone in the mix.
2.You can buy a N9 in the U.S. At expansysusa. I bought a black N9,two Nokia play 360 and the Nokia wireless music receiver. I didn’t buy the new monster headsets but they look great or the Luna . I love my perfect phone for me,the n9 and perfect portable speakers, the play 360.
3.Yes there are owners of Nokia smart phones in the U.S. There are ever fan clubs of the products. I also own the E7 and it’s a great phone. Symbian now seems like Android and the n9 may in short time be able to downloads some android apps.

Microsoft and Nokia have near zero market share in the US, need to get to 30+% to have a viable ecosystem, and have tens of billions in liquid funds. You do the math. At least some models will be given away for next to nothing at the US launch.

But the fact is, they’re not. It’ll be… nice. And without that development and without the $ being pumped into it, it won’t stand up against the competition in a year’s time. Bland tiles they are though. Hopefully the Apollo update will be a step forward from those tiles!

Watching you fiddle around with the screen controls in that 1st vid, hoping one of the icons was a camera shutter button was agonizing!! 
But I agree with your US rant. I woke up early here in NYC to catch Elop’s speech. I knew the 800 and 710 were coming thanks to the leaks, so yawn, yawn, come on get to the good stuff…..oh it’s over. With a mere ‘mention’ of a portfolio of devices coming to the US. Back to old Nokia-speak: you can expect nothing for months and months, and when you do it’ll be outdated and yet again our competitors will have surpassed us in hardware and ultimately, sales. PLEASE NOKIA! Prove me wrong! The US needs a change from this ocean of plastic Android crappola and iPhone mania!!

The true sob story is the N9 is freaking impossible to get.
