So are we to say that in Europe and Asia, those carriers aren't in sales driven business and are willing to carry higher end devices at a loss?
I don't argue that the carriers think that the low-mid priced devices are their sweet spot. However, the fact that we can't get even 1 true high-end WM device on our shores speaks to a bigger issue. If we had TRUE competition in the mobile phone market, one or more carriers would care about attracting the high-end market and would be offering these devices to attract that market. Since we have nothing more than a government granted monopoly today, that doesn't happen.
