    Some people want an $80 phone. Some people want a $400 phone for $80

    Yeah, it's unfortunate that they can't price it $5 higher to cover a 2nd GB... a lot of people who want an $80 phone would also consider an $85 phone.

    My Samsung Galaxy S3 has 1 1/2 GB Ram if I'm correct and its barely chugging along. I don't play games I only use Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook.... 1GB is really a bad idea at this point. You'll pay more later by being cheap now

    It's 199 now....and it depends on what you use it for. I use a blu phone with 64gb microsd card as a podcast/music/audiobook player and it's pretty flawless. Pocket Casts/Smart Audiobook player and a good music player and you're set. I use it about 4 days without charging it.
