iPhone is the most popular smartphone in Japan right now, even beating their keitai denwa alias Japan-centric mobile phones. Nokia will suffer the same fate like before if they force to sell Nokia X in there. While Korea, US and Canada still admire Samsung Galaxy series no matter what. LOL!

      Guys lets be honest. Not many Americans would buy Nokia. Nokia is not the same for Europeans and Americans. Plus with contracts Americans get high end phones at a "fair" price. In Europe there are a lot of countries that these contracts are non-existent or they are such a thievery that they are not worth going for (i.e. my country Cyprus). They will probably out more "android" devices later on if MS does not oppose or merge Nokia completely, which will be of higher tech and those will probably also arrive in the US(etc.).

                  Nokia X series is a response for who want a modern phone built whith quality standard and low cost.
                  This gonna be a good study case for other contenders.

                        Believeme not, 27 Feb 2014The can launch the Nokia X only at the factory nobody wants... morePlenty of people do. Particularly in developing markets.
                        If there wasn't a demand, they wouldn't keep making them.

                            north america and japan was never Nokia's stronghold anyway.
                            that's why in 2007 the original iphone could easily penetrate those markets.
                            in countries where Nokia are strong, the original iphone struggled to make an existence there. since Nokia's phone (especially the N-series) were generally had better specs and functionality than the iphone.

                                    Why did Nokia even bother with this variation of Android for this X range? Why not just release it with WP? Isn't WindowsPhone meant to be fast and smooth on low end phones?

                                      Before you do, know that 3G only operates on 900 / 2100 bands on any of the X devices. I got hyped about it before I realised this.

                                        This is the big problem with Microsoft!

                                        Launching new products in selected countries is bad bad strategy!
