Fair enough, but in the US carrier-subsidized market, online sales of
either manufacturer have to be negligible compared to Apple's store sales,
which sells subsidized phones on AT& service.

Unless things have changed recently, clicking to buy most Nokia phones from
the Nokia USA site redirected you the "Let's Talk" website and tried to set
you up on a new service plan- precious few Nokia phones on the website are
available direct- just a few unlocked GSM models.
