I guarantee that a) they can get a hell of a lot more phone than that with carrier incentives, and b) if you compare Android phones released when that phone was released, you’re not going to see anything more than a hundred or two cheaper. And as much as I miss my salary, which was comparatively meager by standards here, I haven’t worked in the software business in years. I’m in my early career in a blue collar manufacturing trade, and not even in a major metropolitan area. I’ve been accepted into means-tested low-income programs within the past 6 months. I’ve got a pretty grounded understanding of what people outside of the Silicon Valley cultural sphere consider reasonable to spend on a phone, and what features they’d expect for it.
