High-end phone owners consider essential, but low-end phone owners can't as cost limits them.

Hence I believe to be a good strategy from Nokia of MeeGo high-end and Symbian low-end.

There is a huge market for low-end phones, the only problem with it, is that it is so hard to make a profit from it, but I'm pretty sure that all the people living in countries like India and China, etc would want to have the choice to be able to buy an affordable phone rather then be forced to use all their money on a smart phone.

Gone are the days of good coding. Lets just throw hardware at a problem!!! Anyway a killer app is all about finding that idea that hasn't been thought of and that everyone wants.
