It's fun to debate, everyone has a different angle on how they'd position the products
It does, which makes me wonder, will they even put effort into marketing it in NA since the target market for such a device is obviously in SE Asia?

edit: As soon as I posted, I realized the teen market would likely use this product heavily. Parents who buy iPhones would almost certainly be willing to pay for a cheap iPhone before they paid for a full featured one. For example, we bought my niece and nephew iPod Touches last Christmas for about $229 (I think?). I would have rather got them one of these phones for $300.
