Why don't american mobile carriers pick up better cell phones?

5 megapixel camera phone nokia image

mayerj72

I looked online and brands such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorolla etc. sell really nice models in other parts of the world. Yet in America these phones are not on the market. We still have camera phones here with 1.3 to 2 megapixels, whereas for most phones worldwide 5 megapixels is already the standard. I was told not too long ago that these phones are not available here since the carriers do not pick them up. But why don't they pick them up?

Answer
America phone market isn't as demanding... Also most phones are designed for Europe/Asia... They are mostly tri-band with 900 band, not he 850... 850 is america

The k790a is a 3.2 mpix for america... It's an american version of the k800i... This came to Rogers in canada, not sure about AT&T

I'm trying to find a good touch phone with a decent sized screen but so far I'm undecided. There are so many options but my major criteria is that it should have a good performance and should support any type of image file because I'm planning to read Japanese manga in it.
