Smartphones won't be Nokia's nemesis - indigenous innovation will.

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/infotech/hardware/nokia-...

A new generation of feature phones by Indian brands, at mid-low price points, with features designed specifically for the rural Indian consumer is kicking Nokia's butt in the fastest growing mobile market. The story can easily repeat itself in Africa and the Middle East.

Some of these features include dual sims for patchy coverage, bigger battery to feed 2 sims, flashlight for when the power goes out every day, FM radio which doesnt need headphones because Indians dont mind loud music and saris don't have pockets for them anyway.
