Unfortunately, here in Brazil there are a lot of Android 2.1 devices. They are still popular because they are extremely cheap.
Brazilian cheap is not the same as U.S. or Europe cheap. For example the iPhone 4 here costs 1000 USD with a contract, I don't want to think what it would cost without a contract. So, by making Android 2.1 device available for USD 200, the carriers make sure they reach what we call class C and D, class A is rich, class B is middle. Remember that Brazil has the most wide spread usage of mobile phones in the whole world. Homeless people here living on the slums have cell phones. iPhones sell like hot cakes and they are more expensive than laptops. Android is more popular than iPhones, mostly because there are cheap Android availables. On Mon, Feb 6, 2012 at 8:56 PM, J.
