I have no trouble at all imagining that 100€ (unsubsidized) Android phones will be available soon. You can buy a 210€ (unsubsidized) phone from HTC right now on Amazon. That’s not far off.
That’s not a sudden death – I’m pretty sure that you will be able to buy Symbian phones in two years – but I think that there will be far less dumbphones in the future.
- davidw 16y agoCould be. Another thing to consider though, is what Google's going to target with Android. Will they try and keep chasing high-end features, or will they try and go for a more complete range? In other words, I can easily see getting the 200 euro phone for 100 in a few years, but I can also see Android's requirements growing to mean that it needs tomorrow's 200 euro phone to run... Or not! Interesting stuff in any case.
