#1: Because americans are interested in free or "just $29" phones that come with the service plan. These low-end but impressive to the public phones offer US carriers much more profit than high tech phones. People are happy to laugh and giggle at a 320x240 pic on a cell phone screen and be satisfied with that. We, who desire the best technology available, are very much a minority and a small part of a huge market of ignorant and easily satisfied consumers.
