Just anecdotal and rather subjective evidence from Germany:
For me store definitely has the '$' assocations, and when I once tried
to make a nokia series 60 workable to the levels I was expection from
earlier psion experience: the connotations were:
- expensive
- crippleware at best
- no proper ways to backup or move apps from an old
to a new computer.
- needing to 'rebuy' stuff all the time.
Not good. And definitely no good even and especially for commercial
vendors from the partner repository
[if you asked for the results: of course it was a waste of money, of
course it failed, and of course I'm annoyed at the builtin
obsolescence of the Nokia bricks; that experience added the mobile
phone requirement of "debian-userspace-without-jailbreaking-idiocy"]
