guess we will have to agree to disagree my friend but as of late it seems the most specced out phones from many of the top manufacturers outside of nokia/SE (regardless of what one thinks about them) have been coming to the u.s. as well or are us exclusives. i will say if this was a year or 2 ago the same couldnt be said but like i said before times are changing.

Razr... yes, although it wasn't a particularly good phone. Motorola was the only phone I ever had that not only fell apart, but would simply crash when starting the camera (and it wasn't even a smartphone).

US situation _is_ improving, but it's still not exactly "the only marjet that matters"... May be once we all move to LTE and any phone would work on any carrier...

That's just one small example (because it's the only one on the top of my head), but Europe and Japan are far ahead of us in terms of cell phone technology. Of course Apple, HTC, and Samsung are going to push stuff to us because we're a large market, but they adjust their products to suit the market. Boris is correct, we're probably the last to get the cool cutting edge stuff, usually because by the time we get it, it's at a price point that we will actually pay for it lol.

It does have alot to do with size IMO.
Easier to get adoption rates for 2 people than 2million people.
Plus herding 2 cows is easier in 1 direction than 2million & drives a lot of the adoption.
So while the rest of the world have better advancces than us, the companies are also much more likely to lose less on 2 than 2M pushing those ideas & products.
Yes -They have to 'dumb it down' for sure in the US because the bell curve has a wider swath of usage abilities & thus a lower average.

Also the pure wealth of indv Americans encourage for a greater market to sell to.
Yes America still matters. Ask the Chinese & the Koreans.

Irony though is that what does it says about the best selling smartphone in the world is basically the new 'dumbphone' for the 21st century?

& if you reference Sony, Nokia as best sellers outside of the US, ask investors how that's working out for those companies...to play catchup.

If your thesis is that the US doesn't get more technological featured smartphones because we are slower to adopt - then I think that's is false.
We don't get it because manufacturers are trying to sell the MOST phones to the MOST ppl.

America still drives the bottom line.
Cause we have the buying power of many nations put together in one spot.

Simple math vs risk/reward.

ps - don't think I am a homer please! LOL just trying to keep it purely economics & simple.

God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above;

From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
