After introducing Lumia 610 at MWC, Nokia now says it needs even cheaper models to take on Android. In an interview with Pocket-lint, Nokia VP Niklas said that they need to attain  €100 price mark to compete with Android in emerging models.
“Android is in many markets at the €100 price already, so that would suggest that if we are at €189 with the Lumia 610 we still have work to do when it comes to creating a lower-end first-time user smartphone.”
Unless chipset & display makers provide great support on bringing down cost, I think its very difficult to bring down Windows Phone devices prices at current specs. May be, Nokia has something up on its sleeves, Who knows!
