for $799, it better be cased in gold.

And I forgot to mention that it's cased in a durable stainless steel, which is way more durable than your average gold alloy. Thus, the majority of the premium is paid for this material.

But who keeps their phone for more than 6 months?

You ask why people waste money and then ask who keeps a phone for more than 6 months.

Wow.

I wasn't implying that to myself. =\
 
i saw it at the nokia booth at the fashion show mall in vegas... very cool. i'd like to buy one if i could, but 600 bucks?? granted, i'm one of those people who still have a phone with a monochrome screen and 8 bit ringtones, so i'd probably hang onto the phone for a while.
 
u kno its coming out for tmobile, i'm sure u can get it for a reasonable price once it hits amazon.

if you can afford it why not

the rich that stay rich do so by investing soudnly.

this is not a sound investment as it offers so sustainable returns and that is why I doubt many people will purchase it for the sake of purchasing it.


someone in the back: *cough* Bullsh!t! *cough*

:thumbsup:

The people who would spend $799 on a phone are the people who can least afford it.

Suckers.

I didn't want to say it but it had to be said:thumbsup:
