The majority of where Nokia still sells well are places where lower end still sells very well.

MS might trick customers by labeling WP7.5+ as WP8 lite, but customers won't be happy if they know the fact.
Since then i've been hearing Nokia more and more stressing and promoting CRAPPY!!! low end devices (Lumia 710, 610 and ashes series). Has nokia really gone INSANE by stressing on medium / low end devices instead of targeting HIGH END market? I've been waiting for a successor of Lumia 900 that should have dual/quad core with around 4.5 inch screen, Windows 8 and HD resolution. But there is no trace of such device. Every day starts with nokia promoting stupid low end stuffs
The new hero device has to be high-end, so dual-core Qualcomm S4 is a reasonable choice. Screen size and resolution will pretty much be up-to-par with Android high-end devices, too. Really nothing to worry spec wise, it all depends on MS delivering WP8......
and we'll soon know.

How in the world do you think Nokia have sold over 100 000 000 phones every quarter if the major portion of that would not come from the low end?
Nokia has been selling low-end phones a decade if not more and getting itīs major income from it, do you think they just forget it and focus only on high-end, see how well that went with Symbian and burning platform...
Same with graphics card manufacturers, the main income comes from middle to low-end cards, not the high end. The reason is volume.
The non-advertisement plan might have worked with N9
but sure in h*ll it works with the low-end.

if you can afford a new high end phone everytime one is released, you're in the top 15% of the richest people in the world. There are other people in the world who aren't as well off as we are. That's why I appreciate what Nokia is doing. High end phones never worked to save anyone's life.. A quad core device will still make the same phone call as a Nokia 1100. And yes, Nokia's approach to the market is completely different than others.. Since they sell by volume, not by price, as mentioned above.
the "crappy" phones aren't for you or me. They're for millions of other people who appreciate the little things in life and who just want a phone and not an autobot.

However Nokia showed some positive signs with Lumia and Pureview Series. Out of that Lumia 800 looked bit high of specs still I would call it a medium end device. Lumia 900 seemed to be a falling into the category of high end stuff, although still no match for high end android devices.
