$25 smartphones would be great hit in Indian market. This can be evidenced by phenominal success of Motorola Moto-E phone. These have apparently been sold only in on-line stores.

The phone is priced at half that of what Samsung was selling their mid range Galaxy Grand about a year ago and that too with much better specs. India is one country where "value for money" and "total cost of ownership" are the absolute primary concerns. Good luck FireFox smartphone. Look forward to its launch.
