Nokia Cancels $5 Billion Worth of Manufacturing Contracts
Nokia's problems.
This is my take and only represents my opinion:
Nokia is the #1 phone maker in the world with 40 percent sales of phones. Only 10 percent of sales in the States. America is a tough territory for Nokia. While they make a great device, America has been given a huge handout of software choices. Nokia has been rather weak in this area. Google and Apple have now joined Windows Mobile for dominance in America and have their eyes set on worldwide use. This is now going to make it even tougher for Nokia.
I think Samsung and LG have done a great job of conforming to America's needs and wants. This also helps these two in getting world attention as well. Time, the Economy and Nokia's strategy approach is going to be key to recovery or they may...

You forgot Blackberry. BTW choice is a good thing. Many of the companies make fine products. Competition is also good, it pushes all makers to push the envelop.

Nokia's problem in the U.S. is that they are developing their own revenue portal, namely the Ovi site. U.S. carriers don't want this, they have their own revenue services to sell to their network users, they don't want any competition. For that reason you will not see many Nokia phones offered from U.S. carriers unless they can come to a revenue sharing agreement as it concerns to Ovi.
IMO, the next Nokia phone to have significant sales in the U.S. will be the N97, when most owners of the N95-3 will upgrade, and of course, it will be unlocked and expensive and for which one can only say, "It's costly to be different from the crowd, and to carry the worlds best phone!" 😉
