A friend just pointed me to this phone on ebay. http://goo.gl/qbaKD I think catch must be the extremely high shipping cost. otherwise if someone is up to a local pick up then the cost comes down to maybe 5K. Alex On 3/15/2011 10:16 AM, Robert Kuria wrote:

Hey Alvin,
I've had an IDEOS since when they were launched.
Not had a problem on it. Bought a screen cover + case.
Finally this weekend installed Skype from the market and been calling people with it from Java free wireless.
Installed BatteryBooster to manage my battery life. Now lasts atleast 2 hours longer.
Installed 3GWatchdog to manage my #544 25mb daily limit.
Installed Aldiko to read my ebooks from ProjectGutenburg and converted ones using Calibre.
Installed GTunes to download music.
Installed SoundHound to identify songs playing on the radio, club or matatu.
Installed Barcode for QRcodes
Installed EsFileExplorer to manage files on my IDEOS
And all for $100 .... best $100 dollars I ever spent!!

Seems like a good strategy for Safaricom. The key is not to move hardware, but create an ecosystem where owners or (addicts) of the now famous Ideos become huge consumers of data. I am sure they may be selling the phone at a subsidized cost but considering how these smartphones move data, soon their data sales may exceed voice.
I hope other players will not come back a few years from now and want to share the Safaricom Ideos ecosystem.
