I very much doubt that Windows Phone will be a player there. The Lumia 520 sells for ~150 USD without contract. That's the lowest WP8 can go. Nokia introduced their Android phones because they'll run on cheaper hardware.

The Lumia 520 actually sells for ~ $50 (or lower if you look around) with no contract[1]. Its the cheapest a phone can get for the given specs: 4" LCD touchscreen, 5MP camera & 13 days standby. Too bad it hasn't been hacked yet.

Ok, but in normal[1] place that phone costs ~100 euro. There's also an old price visible - 99.88$

Fine, is amazon considered a normal place? Because even there its ~ $50. Infact everywhere I have looked it has been around that price.
