Point taken. I agree Nokia is horrible at the whole "phone company" game. But in the end they want to make money, and so by launching it towards a new massive market, they do so in order to sell more right?. And if the consumer base is big enough the apps will probably come. Not because they promised but for the love of more money. "Talk is cheap and greed is good" is the general tag-line. In any case, this greed to me this means further involvement, not abandonment.

Also, I wouldn't say that people in, say India are dumber that we are and could be taken for a ride more easily. They pretty much outsmart, us westerners, out-educate us and work harder for a salary then us. If I had to choose, we are most likely the dumb ones.
