What matters is if it sells! So now you'll have MS fanboys AND Nokia fanboys all over it. I think we should save this thread and revisit it in one year... See who takes back their words....

But what difference does any of this make if we can't get these amazing phones on our carriers here? The only ones that have it are the GSM carriers. Why? Because it has to be customized to work with CDMA netorks. That explains why no one has seen a Nokia phone pushed here in forever. The rest of the world, (which believe it or not is bigger than the US) is GSM, so MS is definitely gonna go in that direction and I don't blame them. But it still sucks b/c I like Verizon and don't want to switch to AT&T or T-Mobile.
