Apparently, the unit of Nokia (Nokia CTO) has not been bought by Microsoft! So it may develop some more units if it gets a good response from public! A desperate attempt to rise! Also, it uses a forked version of android, which i suspect won't be of that interest to the general public, but who knows what might click for them! Acc. to the specs, it has a really good battery life and is inexpensive which could be a selling point!

The development of the phone started before Microsoft was interested in Nokia. They finished development and invested money. Now they have two options: Cancel the project or sell the phone and get some money back. This is not the first time that Nokia sells a product because it has been developed but was not really interested in supporting it for a longer period: Same story with the N9 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N9[^]) using the MeeGo OS and the PureView 808 using Symbian. If you think about buying one, ask yourself: How long will the phone get updates?

I suppose general public does not even care about which version of Android runs on their phone.

And the other question: do you care? If it's cheap, and good, and (let's be honest) you will change it in a year or so, then why care if support stops at the end of the warrantee period?

I would care. Because I would not buy a phone for just a year even when it is cheap like the Nokia X. Buying such devices for short times of usage is waste of resources. Overall, everyone has to decide for himself.

You wouldn't, but many do - look at the iPhone market, where the "current greatest model" is out of fashion by the end of the week. I'm with you to a certain extent - my phone runs Windows Mobile 5, and was released in 2006, so I'm not exactly wasting resources here - but if it died, would lack of support bother me? No - I've never updated a phone, and never needed to. But...I carry my tablet with me everywhere, so I'd be more likely to replace my existing phone with a less intelligent device that just does calls and texts.
