As someone who was born in one of those emerging markets, I have my doubts that people who fall in the economic category you mentioned would spend $170 on a phone. There are way cheaper options available, for as less as $40 which play music and FM -- perhaps the two requirements that people care about it. I don't think having apps is on the top of the list, but then, this is my (anecdotal) opinion.
