If you don't see this doing well, look around what kind of new-in-the-box phone $115 off-contract will buy you. If you find something other than five year old Android 2.3 phones or the Nokia Asha 501, then I must've missed something.

And there are lots of people on this planet who A) use a prepaid phone and B) have a phone budget around $100.

Then they can buy the Nokia Lumia 520 that is only $99.

Hands down, the best low budget smartphone you can buy right now. If you can't afford that price, then you don't need to be using a smartphone.

AT&T subsidizes it, everywhere else on the planet it's $160-180. Nokia's actual "$100 phone" is this:

Asha Software Platform is to Firefox OS what WP8 is to Android.
