I agree with AI. Nokia has been burned by Cingular/AT&T so many times that you can't really fault them for being extremely reluctant to warm up to the US. However, that doesn't explain why they're giving the same treatment to other mature markets. My guess is that Nokia figures that the phone won't compete favorably with the other touchscreen handsets out there. It'll probably sell more in emerging markets where it can be seen as a much lower cost alternative to the currently popular models.
Oh well. My interest in this phone kind of evaporated once I learned it had a resistive touchscreen. No multitouch? I'll wait for Nokia's higher end touchscreen model...which I'm sure is in its labs at this very moment.
