HMD confirms Nokia 8 will not be coming to the U.S., says it's not “properly banded”
The HMD official who confirmed the information also said his company is already working on bringing a new set of devices to the US market, so don't fret just yet.
To a disappointment, we will not be launching the Nokia 8 in the USA. The Nokia 8 is not properly banded for the US to ensure our pledge of 110% consumer satisfaction. I apologize for the disappointing information, but please stay tuned for future US based devices, as we are developing the portfolio.
In the meantime, Nokia 8 is slowly making its way to more markets in Europe. HMD's flagship is priced decent enough (€550-€600) to compete with other major brands in the smartphone industry.
