Many Americans such as myself had Nokia cell phones.. they were ubiqitious in USA culture... so I don't get the American jab at all, the only real competitor between 95-2005'ish was Motorola. Blackberry came from that time, and then android around 2010'ish but I would say yes - Nokia was the main phone for over a decade IMO.

In Nokia's heyday, very few people in the USA had cellphones. They were rare in my experience there until sometime around 02002. By contrast, in Japan and Europe, cellphones were ubiquitous. Probably less so in India and Nigeria.
