I don't get what problem this phone is solving. I think that's how everyone else feels too.

We already have good phones by a number of other companies, and some of them actually cost a reasonable amount.

It's supposed to be a long-term purchase, which is how they will explain low sales volume. But this makes it hard when they'll want to release a better version of the phone. Or not. Not sure though about their long-term pricing strategy.
