N900 does Q3 without breaking a sweat... Why would Q1 be important milestone for any system that runs on several times more powerful processors and several times lower resolution that it was originally?
@cardfan exactly. That's why Nokia is just flat in the U.S. No one wants to buy unsubsidized phones when they are just going to pay the same for 2 yrs of service. I can't imagine all the action they are missing out on in the high end smartphone market is better than their bottom line if they got into deals to subsidize with carriers.
I buy unsubsidized Nokia phones, because they are better than subsidized phones in America. People who REALLY require certain features will pay for them. You shouldn't sit back and wish for features when they are available to you. Just pay up. In the age of the internet, the old adage of "Nokia's US presence is lacking.." is a non issue. If I recall, the internet is world wide, don't blame Nokia for peoples lack of willingness to pay for what they want. You can buy it here in the USA. Americans just don't want high end bad enough to pay for it. We rather wait....for a carrier to hand it to us...on the cheap...rather than go get it ourselves......

@incognito:
Engadget is anti-Nokia, that's why they praise Q1 on Pre and ignore Q3 on N900.
@incognito It breaks a bit of a sweat. But it is impressive and playable nonetheless.

Maybe if Nokia made themselves relevant to the US? No marketing, no sub'ed phones on any network. Who cares then?
