This looks fantastic. Keep in mind that this phone is designed for the worlds poor-- people who can barely afford enough prepaid airtime to send a text message. Nokia and WhatsApp are bringing technology to an underserved market that have the most to benefit from it. They are achieving what OLPC couldn't.

Now, I only wish this phone had a flashlight.

I've always found a smartphone's screen to be bright enough to serve as a flashlight for most situations :-)
