Agree on you about the battery life, but I'm not sure about apps since I have never used an Iphone but ios is more mature so it had some head start so I guess its apps are also a bit ahead.

The cheapest Iphone here in kenya is about 450 USdollars compare that with the ideos at 80 dollars. With such a gap battery life ceases been an important issue for most kenyans.

its more common in the middle class. Actually most of th people having the phone over here are young people (think 20 somethings) irrespective of the financial bracket of their parents

Hi, kenyan guy here. I bought the ideos 3 months ago. Love the android OS, I'm writing this using swype n what a breeze. the battery life off the phone is a but of an issue but if u disable things like GPS then you can get almost a full day worth of charge.

About data plans, i usually subscribe to 10MB per day at a cost of 8shillings(about 0.1 of a dollar). Though you can subscribe to 25MB pet day at cost of 0.25 of a dollar. You can also subscribe to unlimited data plan for 30 dollars per month. Of course this are figures for my carrier but those from other carriers don't differ by much.

I can say most people will move to android (at least my friends are planning to after seeing my apps). I mean, they were impressed by th fact that they can listen to any song using my jango android app.
