Oh shut up. You continue to be a member of a forum filled with sayings like this, I bet you've even used some yourself, you aren't allowed to complain about it like some two-bit cynic.

OT: That's the way the cookie crumbles. These phone prices are outrageous

yeah! I said that last year and I went for straight 8 moths without devices except for NBing ing home computer and my life was turned misery!!!! I couldn't contact my GF etc

If you have $700 to spend on a phone upgrade you may want to think about doing something to help those less fortunate. Being content with what we have is a key to happiness. When we constantly desire bigger and better that creates an emotional hole that will never be filled.

A few months ago I finally upgraded my flip phone to one with a keyboard. I do admit that was a big help and the upgrade was a penny I think.

I was going to buy Note 4 but when I hold it it's too big and one of the reasons I opted for iphone 6 instead of 6 plus

Getting used to things or even using certain owrds does not mean supporting them. People do stupid things and i am a person. As a human i am one of the wrong things of world who have done wrong in the past and probably do wrong in the future, that does not prevent someone from not being blind to whatever happening or acknowledging mistakes. If all or nothing applied to anywhere i would stop being better because i would never be all.

Maybe this forum made me realize it all about being a fanatic. Who knows? Btw it was a rhetorical question not a complaint.

Not being materialistic does not mean leaving any type of devices or goods altogether.

unless I don't understand English any type of a cell phone is a material

I had the LG Optimus i9. Great smartphone. It broke. My dad gave me a spare phone he barely used. Which is a Nokia Lumia. It's not as good as the LG but it's a smartphone nonetheless. It's fine to get an upgrade, but i don't understand sheep consumerism, wanting the latest and most priciest stuff.

Like when I help a friend get a christmas gift for his girlfriend, he wants to buy a really expensive necklace just because it's expensive. Sheep logic.

By sheep logic you mean doing what everyone else is doing, being driven by what media tells us is important? I agree. People are far too connected to their phone these days. I admit that I can fall into that category too. It's crazy though, I can be assessing a suicidal person in the ER and they will be texting away on their phone while I'm trying to talk to them. I want to do one of those "when I was a kid..." statements, but I will fight the urge.

Clearly you are offended, which I did mean to do. I've lived in poverty, eating rice and refried beans for every meal, barely paying rent in a one bedroom apartment with no air conditioning or heat. I actually found plenty of truth in that, which also gave me infinite appreciation for simplicity. When people are enthralled by minimal upgrades to luxury items because others are doing it, that falls under sheep logic. I don't understand the logic in your reponse though. Me selling the house I worked for and moving back to the ghetto would not change my opinion on consumerism.

That's a big difference for just shipping and taxes! That phone price at Amazon includes shipping and taxes, too, and was probably shipped just as far.

Are all the phones that much different in price? If not, it sounds like they're charging more because the demand for the phones exceeds how many they can get.
