i dunno, it's mostly the double standard that bothers me. why do i get charged more for NOT being poor. i live in new york city where everyone and their grandma' is panhandling instead of just getting a job. i know that nokia is doing this more for impoverished countries than the homeless in nyc but the principal still remains that if they just reduced price gouging in general they wouldn't have to make special products just for the poor.
i'm mean SHIT, when was the last time a normal priced phone came with 26 hours worth of battery life or multiple address books?
this is more personal/social than design for me.
