Well at least Nokia will let it trickle down in time. They current make the world's smallest smartphone and it sells for $260 unlocked. So it would basically be a $50 smartphone subsidized. When this comes out it will likely come out on a $700-800 device but it will be followed with all their smartphones using the new dual interface. Soon there will be one that is $50 with a new contract. Sure they cater to the high end, but they are smart enough not to neglect the rest of the market either. That's how they are currently the largest cell phone maker, the largest supplier of digital cameras and recently the largest supplier of MP3 players in the world. (yes they beat Apple at their own game)
