Quotes from Stephen Elop, CEO of Nokia:
"We will be introducing a PORTFOLIO of products into the United States, in EARLY 2012."
"In addition to the existing products, which include WCDMA and HSPA, we plan to introduce LTE and CDMA products to address specific local requirements."

From what I have heard, his predictions have been surprisingly accurate, but we shall see. Either way, I am going to wait for the Nokia Lumia 900, which has been leaked, but not announced at Nokia World.

There was a rumor a while back that Nokia would be launching a high-end phone to Verizon, so hopefully the 900 will be the phone that comes to Verizon. The 800 has a smaller screen than the Trophy, while better in every other aspect. The 900 has a rumored 4.3" screen. That's what I'm talking about!
Also, free with every Nokia phone, and exclusive to every Nokia phone:
ESPN Sports Hub
Nokia Drive
Nokia Music
And probably more that I'm forgetting to list.
So the good news isn't coming as soon as we want it to, but it is coming...
