But even as Nokia continues to gain ground in emerging markets, it’s worth asking whether the world minus the U.S. truly is enough. [...]

You can get E71s for free with ‘unlimited’ data for £15-£20 a month in the UK and they’re cheaper in some other European countries. That’s everything, all in.

That’s partly why people in Europe buy them. You’d pay 3-5 times as much for an iPhone or Pre. Nokia’s Ovi service is free too, unlike MobileMe. Sure, the Ovi store has less apps but there’s less missing from Nokia’s phones in the first place.
