Damn america is cheap! here is costs $899 to get a 4s.
I have a samsung galaxy Ace. Mostly because it was android and on a reliable plan for $30 a month
The only reason Iphones (and other phones) seem cheaper in the US is because them of being associated with contracts (usually 2yr long ones). The phone plan that a person is made to have, over an extended contract period, makes up for the phone's cost many times over.
The true cost of a phone,in this case, is the value of a new unlocked handset.
At all other places that I have been to, you usually
- buy any handset you like
pick any operator you like
(if you wish), you can select a plan you like, without the necessity of contractual obligation.
Pardon the rant. I digress.
Anywho, I own a Nokia N8. The reason I bought it is because it had the best camera out of any phone on the market at the time, and continued to be for a while. (12MP, Carl Zeiss Lens)
Currently wishing I could own
- Nokia 808, a 41mp camera sensor with pureview technology,
Nokia Lumia 920 (flatmate has it, probably the best phone I have operated till date)
Sony Ericsson Xperia go (Xperia advance in the US) or Xperia Arco s, both of which are water resistant, and (at least the go, if not both) can be operated under water. The Arco also has a 12MP camera on it, which will hopefully be a Cybershot/Zeiss.
The ubuntu phone project seems interesting
Looking back at this post, I see that this as been quite the rant,so, once again, forgive the long read.
