To be fair, I was in a phone shop last week. I can buy a low-end Nokia smart phone (Nokia 5) for about £100 for travel use and it already exceeded the 1.5GB requirement with a good margin.

That said, these type of phones are only easy to get in Europe and Asia where unclock phones are pretty standard (intense competition helps keep phone contact and actual phone price low). Having lived in US and Canada over 10 years, I am well aware of that the American/Canadian story can be very different. Competition and anti-trust are your friend from stupid phone contract and strict upgrade cycle.
