The problem with Android isn't the initial experience. It's how the phone performs a year later.
I know it's an article of faith on these forums that Android phones are slow and unreliable. I just want to say that is not my experience. Apart from the very cheapest, I've found they are quick (quicker than WP, in fact) and very rarely crash. My last Android phone would typically go months between reboots. I saw uptimes well above 1000 hours with any problems, and the most common cause of reboots was me forgetting to charge the phone.

I have to wonder why anyone would buy this instead of a Moto G. The Moto G might cost just a little bit more but you get better internal specs (I believe, I haven't seen official specs for the Nokia X yet), a better screen, and access to the Google Play store. I just don't see what the target market would be, outside of hardcore Nokia fans who hate Microsoft I guess.
well it looks like the nokia X has been already rooted to use google services :/ Nokia X rooted and Google apps installed; Android is Android | Android Central sure most people that are in the targeted markets might not care about rooting their phone but now that its shown that I can be rooted was there even a point to create a phone like this :/
Turns it from a useless turd into something of decent value. Seriously if Nokia thinks they can fool people into buying this in its default state, when phones like Moto G and other regional brands are out, then they really are out of their minds. People aren't stupid. They weren't stupid with Windows Phones and they won't be stupid this time around either.How does affect the purpose and strategy behind the phone?

A little bit more eh? $120 vs $180 is 50% more. Obviously this phone is not targeted to people with first world math problems as far as cash is concerned
Yeah well Nokia has little to no presence in China so they can forget about this. They have massive presence in countries like India. And no, you're not going to sell a bastardised Android smartphone there. You know why people don't buy Windows Phones? Because it doesn't have their favourite app. Nokia took the biggest advantage Android has, which are its 1 million apps, and removed it from Nokia X. You expect people to buy this? Why on earth would anyone buy this over something like Moto G?I suspect you take issue with the fact that it comes without Google's services. However, the non-Google Android market is already by far the fastest growing part of Android. I would never buy this either, but in China, Russia and elsewhere, non-Google Android is very popular. Nokia doesn't need to dupe anyone. Those markets have already decided they like non-Google Android.
You forgot one target market... hardcore Android fans that hate Google ;-)

Yeah that market does not exist. And even if it does, kudos to Nokia for targeting the niche-est of markets in the world.
