Who do you need to impress, and how much is the impression desired worth to you ?

That's a silly question - phones vary in price from $11[^] to $8,000,000[^] (though you'd have to be a total tool to buy anything on that list), you get offers and deals, contracts, etc. And nobody I know thinks in terms of "% salary" when making a purchase of anything (except possibly a house where it's relevant because of a mortgage. And add to that that it also depends how often you change the phone: should it be seen as "% total salary for all the years I'll have it"?

Why pay for a mobile phone at all?!

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Because stealing them is illegal?

That's why you borrow it, for an unset amount of time :)

Skipper: We'll fix it. Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this? Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

My boss needed my number once: he was picking me up at a rail station for a business trip to Dallas. He was most put out a month later when he found I'd changed the number the day I got back! :laugh: As I said to him: if you want me available out of hours, you can pay me an "on call" fee, and provide the mobile.

My brother never pays for them, he just has my old ones. He's up to a Nexus 4 now. I usually just buy handsets, and then get SIM only deals. I'm quite liking my OnePlus One still, so I'll keep that a little longer.

30% should fit the cause to get the latest technolgy :)

Ask yourself better how much you want to spend monthly. These mobiles last about 3 to 5 years - so use you calculator. :rolleyes: For some Android phone you get no updates, or only for 18 months. Apple is more value stable, because they have better support and you can sell it for a good price after some years.

Nobody knows exactly how big the whole pie is.
