Nokia didn't have much of a 'leap' in the US then, as the 'stockmarket' played into the popularity contest. My family back in Thailand used to tell me about the Nokia's wave of desiredness in S.E. Asia back then. <br /><br />Wow, have the times and tides changed. Let see what 2011 brings.

The users of this smartphone had developers creating apps that had a huge following such as managing messages and contacts and sms, privacy, security, etc. These apps were driven by users demand. <br /><br />I believe that the success was also technological leadership. It was the highest end of price and customer segment that offer the best combination of form and technological function. It was THE device of that time.
