Overview of Nokia phones offered by U.S. carriers (October 2012)

US web offers for new Nokia phones as of 10.10.2012.
The list is somewhat incomplete, and emphasis is added to phones that don't have Windows Phone in them (all Windows Phone versions, including 7.5, 7.8, and 8).
This list also reflects which carriers' websites first ask for location without offering their phones first. The carriers whose sites do that, are more likely to offer locked phones and with a fixed contract instead of selling them to someone who would want to use their phone with a different carrier.

This time I have also included MVNO-s (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) that were featured in the respective Wikipedia navbox.

Near the end of the compilation it turned out that most carriers and MVNO-s did not carry Nokias, so if I will ever make a future compilation of who carries Nokias, these will get further emphasis beyound colour.
