Yup, like one of the comments mentioned: a Chinese's salary is 600€/month so spending 400€ is exorbitant. Salaries in India and some eastern European countries are equally low. I would've bought it if it were 200 - 300€. FxOS looks promising on low-end market: my Peak is working very well so far :)
I'll wait until Q4/2013 or Q1/2014 to see if they release a cheaper model.
[edit: other EE countries -> some EE countries]
- dreen 13y agoFor the record, India is not in Eastern Europe and the wages and quality of life here are a HELL OF A LOT better than in India. edit: but yeah, jolla is too expensive.
- adamors 13y agoIn some Eastern European countries the average salary is below 450€/month.

- dreen 13y agoWell my point was that a quarter of India lives on 10€/month. But then again those people probably don't buy smartphones.
- parimm 13y agoThe government gives you jobs at 2EUR a day for 100 days, this is available to everyone, Your claim that a quarter of India lives on less than 10EUR a month is wrong
- dreen 13y agoIts not really a claim Im just quoting wikipedia
- Someone 13y agoI don't follow your logic. Let's assume the Indian government promises every citizen a EUR 2 salary for 100 days. Most people will have a working career that is much longer than that. Spreading that EUR 60 a month salary over 10,000 days (27-ish working years) is EUR 0,02 a day, a EUR 9,98 a month salary for the other 99% of their working life would bring the average close to EUR 10 a month.
