You see, it's not plastic but hard-coated polycarbonate. That's cool news. It will beat every cheap Android. Just launch it worldwide with a price tag of 100$.

      Jed, 11 Sep 2013Looks too much like a Lumia! I wonder if Nokia or Microsoft... moreNope. They will patent it and sue back MS & Nokia for copy them.

            Anonymous, 11 Sep 2013Look at the Daily Interest of GSMArena and you know who is ... moreInterest, and comments, have little to do with sales. Why do cheap Samsung mobiles rate highly on daily interest - because people use the facility for chatting and comments, which do not translate to actual sales in any one particular country. In fact the number of hits is misleading, and you will find in a week that Apple will have half the level of interest or could even be off the list.

                Doesn't come cheap. Costs as much as the iPhone5 and that's a premium phone not some bright plastic.

                    @Naveen: read carefully: "...and cost $99 for the 16GB and $199 for the 32GB, BOTH ON A 2-YEAR CONTRACT". So, prices aren't set by Apple, but by vendors.
