Yet I have not seen one single commercial for it, and HTC's website doesn't even mention anything about it working here.
There is no marketing whatsoever here for Windows Mobile, and no attempt to sell any.
By the way- you're wrong about Sony. They actually made Xperia's specifically for the USA and you can buy them right on the company website. They put an "a" in the model number (X1a, X2a) that means it is for America. See here:

Now they don't advertise them at all, but at least they sell them. HTC on the other hand, doesn't even pretend to care about the American public. They sell to carriers, and that is it. If the carrier doesn't pick it up we're just out of sight, out of mind. |
they don't sell more because htc tries to sell more, they sell more because the people want it more. if the people wanted those phones in the US then they would create them. marketing only goes so far, google is able to market android because they will sell enough units to make the money back, if they market those phones in the us trust me, they will only be throwing $ away. sony is the perfect example. you said its for the us, but sony sold the majority of its handsets overseas, and continues to sell them overseas. in the us, apple and android run this market, with or without advertising.
