You do realize India is one of the most rapidly growing emerging economies - one of the future superpowers.

You do know there are planes that get to Africa, India and Turkey.

If you don't ... I feel sorry for you... ]]>Feb 17th 2010 9:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/Feb 17th 2010 9:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/
In relation to the phone, doesn't Nokia have a good grasp of the affordable market segment? I am sure they will come up with an even cheaper version. Plus their phones come with the Nokia Community Connections where people are taught about business and agriculture.

I truly admire companies that are willing to support technological and economic development in areas in need. ]]>Feb 17th 2010 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/
Those companies might be doing it because its profitable to their bottom line.

Not saying that is wrong, but its not much more admirable then making high end products.

With the way technology advances these days, a $200 phone from just a couple of years ago should be down in the $20 range and probably have lots more features built into it. Also reusing an older phone is a hell of a lot better for the environment - they don't end up in landfills and no need to manufacture a new phone if one exists already.]]>Feb 17th 2010 9:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/17/vodafone-150-lays-claim-to-worlds-cheapest-phone-title/

My phone is two years old, and the screen has started to decide it doesn't want to work consistently. It sometimes sends text messages repeatedly until it receives an incoming message, or randomly saves them to drafts.

This is just a phone that received normal use.
