Emerging countries don't have contracts. So making it free on a 2 year plan isn't the same as targeting emerging markets. Its the cost of the unlocked phone that would matter. I would also argue paying 70-80$ a month for a phone plan isn't exactly "low end" . For comparison, I got a Galaxy S(captivate) phone for free when I renewed my contract a year ago.
