Yeah I know, but it's a false economy. But we know it's going to take a large change in attitude to recognise that.
By the way, eBay should be everyone's friend when trying to win this battle. The last two phones I bought were $400 unlocked from Nokia, v's $99 from Cingular, locked into a contract. I paid $150 and $140 for them, one was brand new, the other was 3 months old, or so. My point being that most of us will find $150 much easier to afford than $400!!!!! All it takes is a little patience and careful buying.
