they give cell phones away nowdays... why the fuck would anyone pay $600 for a cellphone?

Seaz · 02-21-2003, 02:52 PM

i did it and i got a really bad fone. but if you can get more out of yo ur phone like a pda or camera or even a mp3 [player then its good money

ElvisManson · 02-21-2003, 02:53 PM

for $600 that phone had better give damn good head.....lol

The Dawg · 02-21-2003, 02:54 PM

I have a cellphone graveyard in a drawer at my house, they change so often it IS a waste of $$$ to buy one for that kind of dough.

Cheshire · 02-21-2003, 02:55 PM

Hahaha ~ that's the same cellphone someone posted a thread about dropping once and it busting.

Trax · 02-21-2003, 02:56 PM

well
i was in need for a new phone that supports GSM 1900 so that i can use it worldwide
and its brandnew...not even officially released down here

hmmmm

UnseenWorld · 02-21-2003, 02:56 PM

They practically (and often actually) give away phones when you sign up for an account. I've been with SprintPCS for 2 years now, and my cell phone is starting to look a bit bedraggled. Anybody know a cheap source for cell phones without opening up a new account?

funkmaster · 02-21-2003, 02:57 PM

"I say spending $600 on a phone is incredibly stupid. "

... yes, the smart people get that phone for one dollar (plus a 24 month contract at 29.95 per month)

if you have been with them that long you should be able to get a free upgrade or at least a very cheap one.

Amputate Your Head · 02-21-2003, 03:00 PM

for $600 bucks, that phone better be indestructable, waterproof, play DVDs, and double as a pocket pussy.

MaxDent · 02-21-2003, 03:08 PM

I just bought the basic nokia and bought a cool cover for it. I don't need an expensive phone. I'll just wait and get a Japanese one that I can swap out my sim card with.

well, you must have thought it was worth $600 or you wouldn't have bought it... if it helps you do what you need it to do, then you should be happy with it. But personally, there's no way in hell I'd pay $600 for a cell phone... I don't care what features it has... no phone is worth that.

FlyingIguana · 02-21-2003, 03:09 PM

color phones are worth it. any phone over 200 better come packed with features.

Paul Markham · 02-21-2003, 03:10 PM

What's the problem.

This is one of those super elite webmasters with 100,000 members signing up at $40 a month on sites he runs out of his back bedroom.

He has to be absolutely loaded if one of the main features he likes is he can use it world wide.

That or the rest of you are right, he's stupid.

How many free hours does it come with a month? 750 hours?

i agree with ya
in fact i thought: old phone is fucked up so i def. in need of a new one... since i want to keep the phone a few years i prefered buying the latest shit

and most important: the phone is a business expense

Jer · 02-21-2003, 03:15 PM

Max I would pay: $100

I don't like cellphones, that's why I don't have one (and I don't need). But if I were going to buy one, max I would pay would be 100 bucks. Thats would buy me a nice phone.

No offence, but that is pretty dumb.
Like Amp said, you can get them free. Same damn phone and everything. As a matter of fact I have one like it and got it free.

I use to work in the cellular Ind for years and I can tell the price of the phone not the way they make profit. They make there money from signing you and getting your cell activated.

Back when I was in it, the sales reps would give the phones away free just to get the $300 to $500 comish for activating the cell number.

So yes $600 for a cell phone wwaaayyyy to much.

Jakke PNG · 02-21-2003, 03:18 PM

my phone cost 850 when I bought it. I dfon't think 600 is bad for a good phone.

stocktrader23 · 02-21-2003, 03:19 PM

Who cares what it cost man, you only live once. I can think of crazier shit I've spent $600 or more on.

yep
i got my first cellphone for free too
but the times changed
the market down here is pretty exhausted... the phones you get for "free" are the ones being 2 years old

with a 24h month contract this one would still have cost me $250

Nokia 9210

Don't sweat the $600 Trax. If you bought it, you can probably afford it.

Spending $600 on a phone isn't a bad idea, spending $600 on a Nokia is.

If you're happy with it, it was worth it.

I personally wouldn't pay $600 for a good looking phone.

I've got a 6310i, and I kinda just found it lying around on the sidewalk one night. No one around looking for it, so I grabbed it. It cost me nothing.
