The IDEOS are all about the user market. It should make developers excited that they will have a greater market for their applications. By making smart phones cheap as chips we can reach people with technology that we could not before. I think this is landmark and quite incredible. In terms of people needing to know how it works... We are using them in our ICT4D and Social Enterprise training class at Africa Nazarene University to students who will then teach the wananchi. We are accepting applications for next month's class. In terms of the quality of the handsets, they are under warranty. If they are found faulty they should be replaced. We have found in our testing that there are some apps that have been developed that really take them down. The apps market should be entered with care as with any software. If it is not done thoughtfully, there are always issues. On the Nokias, I found the hardware to be great, but the OS to be deficient in many ways. The Android 2.1 and 2.2 are tremendously better.

FACT: No phone camera is that good, cause quality of image is as good as the ccd. If you want snappy images, look for the D3 for instance and then buy a nokia 1100 for sms and calls. That said, what a phone seeks to achieve is a balance of all, a family photo, a video of your stupid cousin drunk driving, mp3 on the road ...e.t.c .e.t.c which means buying an expensive phone that is really a jack of all trades is bad investment...
IDEOS IDIOT!
