I feel I must remind you that you are in fact an American Company. I offer this reminder to you as a simple partial solution to your current woes. You see, as an American company you have failed miserably to serve your greatest - or even most of your - wares to your home market instead opting to service a much smaller market in the form of South Korea and developing Asian countries. You also release highly desirable products to the Chinese market, and while it may be understandable to serve the Chinese market with unique products as it is an enormous and rapidly growing market, a partial compromise there would be to give China periods of exclusivity rather then complete exclusivity.

The reason I am confident a change in corporate mindset to releasing your diverse portfolio of mobile products in your home market would be an enormously large step towards changing the fortunes of your company is that you have an incredibly diverse product portfolio on the world market - South Korea in particular - rich with unique and interesting products in every popular form factor and product catagory.

Why spend untold billions of dollars on further market segregation when the turn around at GM in the automotive industry has shown that leveraging Global operations and product lines is the fastest and most cost effective way to quickly inject fresh and innovative products into declining markets.
