In places like Africa you buy phones from a stall in a market square. No contracts, because they're not enforceable. I think the only credible (and very real[1]) competitor to low-spec Android handsets is Windows Phone, which with the Tango update will run on really low-spec hardware. Nokia is playing a solid game here. [1] Real because Nokia rule the feature-phone market, not so much in Asia but very much in Africa. Nokia have a reputation for quality there that Android, as the new kid on the block, will have a hard time displacing.
