    And that 40 times a compelling reason why not to by one. I've had a iPhone and they're grossly overrated, personally I prefer my HTC Titan Windows Phone.

      Right. I am just curious why a US customer would buy an iPhone for $1,100 from Amazon when they can get it from Apple for $850. One seller even lists the price as $1,300. Perhaps it has faster shipping or something.

      Maybe it's easier to get unlocked phones from Amazon. Also usually no tax depending on what state you live in and what state they ship out of.

            My LG Optimus 7 is the first smartphone I own. Very satisfied with it for almost a year now. I'd only change it for a Nokia Windows Phone (Lumia 800).

                Not quite true. Most people here pay the same price but a little more subtle. I got two Samsung Galaxy S for me and her for $30 each which sounds great for a $900 phone, but…they come with 2 years contract renewal, mandatory shity data plan, GPS usage fees, general plan upgrade etc. Now I’m paying two-three times more monthly as I used to before.

                  Well data-plans in India are way more expensive than here too. The one thing that's cheaper is incoming text/voice - which is free in India (all providers).

                    It’s the same in Europe. Paying for the incoming calls and sms’ is a specific US “invention”.

                            Seems like a stupid invention. I and many others would have abused the heck out of it in highschool. Don't like someone? Organize a group to send them a barrage of texts.

                                    I pay less than$40usd a month for unlimited calls and 2gb data a month. There is no charge for in comming calls or SMS, that seems crazy

                                        If you’re going to throw your money on Apple, better buy iPad, it’s actually a good product and the Wi-Fi model is not even too overpriced.
