Looks sooo last generation HTC!

But, based on the coverage they got in this morning's WSJ, Nokia (and Apple and Google), while lacking many capabilities out of the box, have the single most important ingredient for success that HTC hasn't: BRAND AWARENESS.

Just like the way ahead of its time and long lost Psion range, HTC - at least here in the USA - doesn't register. And this, in a country and world that buys shirts because they have horses embroidered on them...or phones wearing fruit.

Brand Recognition is very much last year. If the carrier pushes it, and gives it a cute name, people will buy it.

Nah, Nokia and Apple have another thing over HTC: A history of creating great devices. I have been waiting for Nokia to do the touch thing because - despite their crap Symbian OS - if there is one company that can pull a serious iPhone contender, it's Nokia.

Unless you live outside of the US. Then the Carrier's power to shove devices down people's throats becomes somewhat limited compared to the US.
