Elgan: Why expensive cell phones are worth it

Iria · Jul 27, 2008, 02:02 AM

The price of the new iPhone 3G dropped by $200. Although the AT&T bills (necessary to take advantage of the phone's faster data speeds) rose beyond handset savings, many hailed the lower price as an important development. Finally, the price is within the range of what people are willing to pay.

I've seen many people, including friends and family, agonize over whether to buy a phone they prefer, or one that's $200, $100 or even $50 cheaper. And with the economy in the doldrums, the impulse to economize is stronger than ever.
