All of which is well and good, but this is essentially as low as Windows Phone can go in terms of specs, so calling the W1 'sensational' is overstating things by quite a margin! In particular, even Microsoft's low end newbies have the 8GB/1GB (storage/RAM) baseline, so the W1 is definitely going to feel underpowered once Windows 10 hits.
Noteworthy is that Cortana hasn't come to Pakistan yet - this would have made a difference to the offering, I think. Still, a new Windows Phone is a good thing. Just as long as it isn't so low end that it puts customers off!
