Cheap is good, but you get what you pay for. More or less.

I would disagree strongly with you there - I would rate the Skypephone (1st Generation) as being the most innovative handset of 2007! For the price, H3G managed to pack in a huge amount of functionality. Whilst it does not compare directly with say a Nokia N95-8GB, just remeber that you can buy A DOZEN SkypePhone S1s for the price of ONE N95-8GB!

it's legitmate to ask though, will these phones actually be any good, as well as cheap? That does matter.
SkypePhone has been good for driving profit margin on PAYG -- so it was a success from that p.o.v.

Could Three be any more brilliant at the moment (apart from the CS)?

Without it, I confidently predict the INQ line will fail dismally.

Still, as we've seen in recent months, 'Facebook on your mobile' is a strong selling point.

I just think a cheap phone is more about instant gratification than long-term investment.

Generallly, people like having skype for free, but think the device is junky.

"What we want to do is deliver an increasing level of value for customers," he said. "We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk, and our DNA won't let us do that."

Apple could sell their devices for less and still make good margins, but they aren't interested in that fight. They make enough money off the cachet and nice experience their designers create. If you can charge a premium you should. But if your market is price-sensitive you need to meet it.
The S2 shows that you can make a handset that is quality in both build and UI, for £69.99 unsubsidised.
Evian water is the same as tap water. Just because tap water is cheap doesn't make it bad, and just because tap water in other countries might be the same cheap price but taste awful, doesn't meen the UK water is inherently inferior.

I personally would like a device with HSPA , a very good browser experience, and largish screen. And that would do me. If someone can make and sell that for cheap, i'm in.
