So it's really a Western web and not an open web. You've proven exactly what everyone on here is saying: there's so much focus on marketing and audiences that many users get completely shafted. That's sad to see given that the web is often heralded as something that gives under privileged people access, and the ability to share, to powerful and useful information.

In your example, most of the time the "market" won't fix that though, because there's no money to be made in servicing the users with "cheap" phones.
