I'm from the US. In my mind Nokia has always meant: Expensive and just not worth the price. I think most americans were used to paying $0-$50 for their phone.

Of if they were going to pay more they bought a black berry. Things changed when the iPhone came out (and then the android). Basically, iPhone did well because it was expensive, but worth it.
