Microsoft launches $114 Lumia 530 with 4-inch display

Say what you will about Windows Phone, they're killing it when it comes to low end devices. Now, yes, there are some pretty awesome Android devices in that price range (looking at you ZTE) however in my view you always FEEL like you're on a cheap low end devices (not least of all because many ship with Android 2.xx still(!)).

Plus these devices are really good for less tech' savvy individuals. As much as I like Android (because of freedom, and choice) for someone like my mom these things not only don't matter but actually can add to the frustration of using the devices. Windows Phone really excels there.

I've been almost tempted just to buy a $100 Windows Phone just to develop on/just for the experience. I don't think I'd wind up migrating to it but at that price it is almost a toy-purchase.
