For their to be a cheap S^3 device, Nokia would have to eat the cost of the hardware components since all S^3 devices have to use the Broadcom GPU as a minimum spec. Over time, the per unit cost of that GPU should decrease to the point of it being a viable option to sell S^3 devices at lower costs. If I were Elop, I would have negotiated a deal with Broadcom to get the component prices as low as possible and make and release as many S^3 models (even remaking older S^1 models with S^3 and new internals) and completely phasing out S^1.

Until Nokia can regulate S^3 prices to S^1 prices, the old Symbian will continue to be released.

Neither pure nor simple. And no, I don’t mean the phone per se. Although it too may not be as simple as it should be (to use).

True, but wouldn’t those same customers prefer a S40 phone if the price is so high for a smart phone? They already do more than windows phone 7 – bluetooth file sharing, memory expansion, reasonable cameras, access to thousands of free java apps etc.

This is a rubbish phone, pure and simple.

Millions of people who think it’s more than enough to pay $150-200 for a cellphone.
In this overheated debate around MS-Nokia, I miss some reflection regarding the fact that Nokias base-customers (maybe 70-80%)are people who buys phones like this(or even the lower range). People who need a phone for talking and sms. People who is not even aware/know/cares that their phone have an OS at all. Think about it…

S60 5th and 3rd should have been canned, not Qt/S^3/Meego. These phones are just rubbish and E series could have benefited from touch and type models with S^3. I hope this doesn’t come out…
