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

    if(this.signature != "")
    {
    MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
    }
    else
    {
    MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
    }

                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.

                          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.

                                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"?

                                Well it's different in the 3rd world. There are often people who are considered middle class, making $300-ish a month. And a cell phone, a mid-level one, would be $200-ish. So you are talking 66% of their pre-tax monthly pay. So a phone purchase would be analogous to a car purchase in say the US.

                                  He probably means there are mobile service plans where a smartphone is included without additional cost, but with a signed X-year/month contract.
