With the Touch HD selling for 850 Euros, they'd have to sell it for $1000 in the states to make the same money. Even with subsidies, it would still come to no less than $700.
Definitely not competitive with the iPhone for far less money in the GSM market. I don't even think it would go over that well in the CDMA market. And especially now, with the current economic crisis, a $1000 phone just couldn't sell well enough to make it worth their while.
I think they've got it right. We're cheap bastards, and they know we're not gonna spend that much on phones we know we'll be replacing in two years.
Still waiting for that 1/2" (12.5mm) thick keyboard phone 
I also think that for a high res phone, they need the killer app of a browser like Skyfire to be ready for market anyway.
