    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'll try to get one for myself just to see WTF is the fuss all about with iPhones. Would it be the most expensive paper weight ever?

                          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.
