                                No US Carrier Partner Yet For Nokia’s Flagship N97

                                By Dianne See Morrison - Fri 29 May 2009 07:00 AM PST
                                Will Nokia (NYSE: NOK) ever crack the US market? The Finnish handset giant’s upcoming flagship phone the N97 has not yet been picked up by any American carrier, meaning that it goes on sale in June for the hefty, non-subsidized price of $699, roughly $400 more than the iPhone and the Pre, which it is supposed to compete with. Walt Mossberg who interviewed Nokia chief Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo at the D7 conference wanted to know what the company’s problem was in the US, where its market share has withered from a high of 28 percent in 2004 to around 8 percent. Kallasvuo said that the company was working on making more US-centric products that specifically catered to the American market, and hoped US carriers would eventually recognize and embrace their efforts.

                                But what exactly is not to American tastes with the N97? Why is the N97 getting no American love, despite Mossberg calling it “pretty cool” and other early reviews of the device comparing it favorably to the Palm (NSDQ: PALM) Pre, the iPhone and the Blackberry Storm? Kallasvuo himself cited the remarks of AT&T’s chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson that phones were becoming more and more important to consumers, and yet AT&T (NYSE: T), one of two US networks that the phone can work on, hasn’t picked up the N97. (Kallasvuo said he was “working on” Stephenson).

                                CCS Insight Analyst John Jackson believes that the N97 faces several challenges in the US. First, the timing is not favorable, especially given the impending launch of the Palm Pre and the new iPhones that are reportedly coming out. Further, Jackson said the wholesale price for the N97 is right around $500, making it “comparatively expensive.”

                                    The hard reality is that no carrier wanted to subsidize this piece of obsolete Junk !
                                    Carriers want to make money selling GOOD hardware like Iphone or Blackberry.
                                    They sponsor Nokia only in mid/low range little phones.
