Can't really take spec literally anyway. Even at equal build quality, that phone does not need to work in a 2007 environment. The original iPhone in 2008 could run everything that was available in the App store with almost the best experience. There is going to be more tradeoff with this phone which is also going to be compensated with an order of magnitude larger ecosystem. It is still amazing that technology has evolved to the point of finding a similar phone 2 orders of magnitude cheaper. Especially when you think of all the stuff that were going on at the time of the iPhone like the OLPC. Good reference point also to compare with today expensive technologies that ship with subpar performance, like all those "smart appliances" that cost thousands and offer ridiculously small performance, or car entertainment systems that even in luxury cars can be beaten by a 10$ phone.
