Well, duh....

Low end devices are critical to build a base. Feature phone and basic phone users rarely go directly to too tier devices. They take low end and move up from there. Get Tango devices on pre paid carriers and in the emerging markets it was designed for, and get the 710's and 800's (and for that matter the HTC Radars and the Focus Flashes/Focus 2 from Samsung) of the world some love in advertising. They will sell, and your base will grow.

Theoretically......

You can't compete android with some crappy tiles.

they wont look at WP because, too many restrictions like bluetooth transfer, mass storage and expandable memory card!
if wp8 will change that everyone will be drooling on it! its eye catchy but just to expensive and too many restrictions that people wanted! MS shouldn't forgot that they are not apple and they are making entry level phones and fulfill what people needs!!

well its good news but there's some drawbacks like with 610 lumia phone, angry birds/skype cannot run properly but with entry level android phones, games/apps like this has no issue at all. I hope MS will take care of this in the future. This is one of the important basis for consumers in choosing their entry level smart phones.
