This is a curious argument, this &#39;average user&#39; is attracted to the OS of the phone but has no idea how to go about getting apps. These average users, are they the same ones who&#39;ve been driving up the Opera Mini usage stats in Kenya? <div>

<div>I think what sells for the ideos is Android not the hardware. However most apps in Android do not come pre-installed, you have to download them first then install. The average mass user may not be really into the searching and downloading of apps for his phone and will simply expect to accomplish as much with the standard apps. I believe Android has endless possibilities but one has to be an average techie or atleast have some tinkering skills to be able to get apps that will help you do above average stuff.</div>



<div>Safcom&#39;s strategy of marketing the phone might be to push more users to data services which are more expensive than voice.</div>

<br>I also know of about 10 other guys who have it and I haven&#39;t heard of any hardware failures...maybe these people reporting failures molest them <img style="margin:0pt 0.2ex;vertical-align:middle" src="cid:360@goomoji.gmail" goomoji="360"><br>
