T-Mobile Needs the Nokia N-Series

I'm not sure why T-mobile USA has chosen not to carry high end mobile phones from Nokia and other manufacturers. The iphone was great example proving that alas that Americans can and will pay more than $10 for a mobile phone. And with all this i-phone hype , they could have capitlized on the excitement and offered a feature-rich phone like N95[ 5.0 megapixl camera, GPS navi, Wifi, 8gb] or SE k850i. T-mobile should atleast offer better higher end products online if they can't afford to have their individual stores carry them.

If your were to visit the UK branch of T-mob, you will see that those guys are doing all the right stuff as far as product. If you don't believe me, just visit www.t-mobile.co.uk and checkout their phones.

According to my Nokia rep, T-Mobile will get an N-Series phone next year. And this guy has always been accurate in the past for me.

it may be N73 successor (not N82), with AWS support

US carriers and retailers like Walmart are much more demanding (= monopolistic) like others in the rest of the world.

Nokia and Sony are used to having easier relationships with international carriers and are bigger in the rest of the world (and probably treated with more respect), so when they entered the US market, the carriers, T-Mobile no doubt included, asked for ridiculous conditions.

Nokia basically said no to all these demands, so Samsung and other companies stepped in who didn't mind paying big bucks to be displayed prominently at the local Walmart.

If US carriers have no great cell phone inventory it's because they alienated producers of high end well-designed phones like Nokia and Sony Ericsson.
