I am Brazillian, and I must say you are underestimating Apple's marketing and Elop dumbness (before Elop, Nokia had absolute market domination here, Sybian was both good enough and cheap enough to have something like 70% market share, Brazillians even made a bootleg port of Counter-Strike for Sybian...)
For example some years ago shortly after the launch of a new iPhone, it hit the news that a waiter had sold one of his kidneys to buy the iPhone.
I was going to post the link here but... search engines keep prioritizing the Nigerian and Chinese guys that did the same and I can't find the Brazillian one anymore.
