Thing is, it's a telco company, they are all horrible.
- powertower 14y agoThe only way they are going to make money in China on a $25 phone is if they tie it into a monthly or pre-paid plan. Otherwise, the margins are going to be slim, non-existent, or in the red on those phones.
- fpgeek 14y agoI wonder how $25 Nokia dumbphones will do against the $25 Android phones that are coming (a bit more than a factor of 2 to go - we've already $50 off-contract during the right sale).
