Interesting that Nokia moves to offer something else besides Windows Phone in the USA, as its Lumia 900 drops down to #10 on the Amazon wireless best sellers list ...

Does this improve Nokia's chances of avoiding bankruptcy?

Generally speaking, when a company bets its continued existence on one strategy, and then a few months later starts backpedaling from that commitment, that is not a good sign for its continued existence.

I think it's smart for Nokia to keep its options open. In fact it was reckless of them to do anything but that from the beginning. Betting the largest phone manufacturer (at the time) on an unproven OS was not a very wise strategy.

This is completely bogus. Fry's has grey market imported these phones. They also sell GSM Galaxy Nexuses from (I believe) South America.

That's pretty badly written article. Meego and iOS are real time OSes? Really?
