I don't know how big the market for English-interface phones is, but
back in the day, weren't these popular in that market because they were
the only (or almost the only) phones that had an English UI? Now it the
choice is much wider (the entire 503i series is bilingual, for example)
that perhaps it's just not worth it to them any more. Certianly the
phones didn't seem to have much else to offer....
