By that logic, the first wave of lumia devices would have sold in significantly higher than they actually did.
If I remember correctly, 600,000 of the 4 million 900's sold in 2Q were from the US.
Gizmodo's review was brutal
At least the comments are full of reason and people blasting the author. Lol. How how many people read those? :/
I think everyone's bearish on Nokia because their point of strength is supposed to be their international/emerging market reach, yet their device sales and market power in China are falling through the floor. They're very close to losing the Chinese market, and if that happens than it's truly lights out for them. They've already pretty much lost the U.S. market for good....
They were rapidly losing market share in China and some other emerging markets. The switched from Symbian to Asha phones occured just earlier this year, so it's a transition phase (needed to be done). They will definitely re-capture a chunk. Nokia has already partnered with China's #1 provider (forgot the name) to sell the 920. Nokia still has a great reputation in India, South America, Africa, EUROPE, etc.
The 900 feels far from fantastic. It was made with a complete disregard for comfort and ergonomics. I've never had enjoyed having it in my hands, it wasn't made with a human hand in mind.
I assume you owned one and sold it? (I didn't even bother, hardware wasn't up to par. I decided to wait for WP8).
Isn't the point here not absolute weight but rather relative to the competition? That is what I get the sense is being judged.

920 is 25% heavier than the iPhone 4/4s. There's a reason for that, too: namely the camera, and wireless charging
