oh poor people! I feel really bad for them... Most likely they had no idea what they were buying as most phone users dont know anything about their phones' capabilities and such

Well, they already got stiffed by buying a phone with the worst coverage and near inability to place phone calls - it's obvious they just wanted it for a status symbol.

this just goes to show that people will buy something if its expensive because they think it is something l33t.

when i was in college, i worked at a cell phone store for a few weeks at the mall. the owner decided he was goign to jack up the prices of the face plates for phones from $9.95 to $29.95 and put a sign that said "Limit 1 Per Person" and put them in a nice fake velvet bag.

you would not believe how many people bought them, let alone how many people would ask if tehy could buy 2 or 3 :1orglaugh:1orglaugh
