This is just a speculation from what we know about Tango so far.....
I think it is a misstep on Microsoft's part to release Tango instead of bringing Dual Core and High screen resolution sooner to the market. Here is why
1. Are not the first-Gen devices already selling for dirt cheap
2. Even some second gen devices like lumia 710, ZTE Tania and HTC Radar 4G serve the purpose
3. Eventually the component prices for previous gen processors and memory come down.
4. Isn't Nokia selling enough S40 phones, why do they want WP7 in that market.
5. With half of the apps and xbox live games not working, the tango phones are not expected to generate any revenue for Microsoft.
The only plus i could think out of this is mind share for WP7.
