So, many of us like to get the newest cell phone, with all the brand new features on it. Those newly released cell phones aren't cheap, they all come with an expensive price, unless you sign up with a 2 year contract with the mobile service company. So, what is the most expensive cell phone do you ever bought? The most expensive one is an Iphone I bought it online, 3G and 8giz, total cost around $380 with discounted price. What about yours?

I have never bought an expensive cell phone simply because i don't have the money.I would look for the simplest one if I needed to buy a cell phone. Cheers!!

Now the equality of phone is good in common,in my opinion we should not change it often even if you have the money.With the money you can do many other more useful things,like help the children who have not the enough school fee!

I am a practical person but there was once that I bought an expensive cellphone last year which was the Nokia E51 which was around 400 USD. I don't sign up for phones with contract as I don't like to be tied up with something because there are times that I need to change my mobile number due to some stalkers. I have sold that cellphone last January at 150 USD and have bought a new and cheaper one. I bought a Cherry Mobile phone, its a China dual sim phone with great functions like camera, loudspeaker, video and sound recorder, calendar, alarm, to-do notes, calculator and email functions... all these features for about 30 USD and comes with a 1 year warranty. My new phone looks like the Nokia 5000 so its stylish and useful to me. I don't want to spend on something that isn't worth the money and there are many things that I need and prioritize rather than spending on things that I don't really need.

So normally i don't like to buy cellphone where there is a plan from a mobile operator together because i think this much more xpensive than to pay your cellphone and so pay just for your activity in this way you sign a contract and for some years you must spend a fixed fee montly so if you calculate it for 1-2 years it will be very expensive much more han the total cost of your phone!! apart that....the most expensive mobile device i bought it is a nokia n810..it is not a kind of cellphone but a kind of mobile internet tablet..even if many people consider that equal to smartphone...so i bought it not new but used from other guy and i paid about 280 euros...so this is the most expensive...

Hmm, well, I'd say them most expensive phone I've bought so far cost Php8,300.00 (less than US$200.00). I bought the phone just this morning when my two-and-a-half-years-old phone refused to turn itself on for the nth time and I got fed up and decided to finally change it. I usually never change my phone unless I absolutely have to and have no need for any advanced features since I have other gadgets for that. I basically use my phone for calling and texting so I usually settle for more entry-level phones. The one I got today is already quite expensive in my books. I still got it though because I thought the design is just too cute.

I think it is Nokia N95. I purchased it inspite of goping through a cell phone company. After that mistake,I decided to go only for mobile contracts.

I bought a Nokia 6680 3 years ago which cost around $250. It's not really expensive even during that time because the best phone 3 years ago would cost somewhere around $450. Well the Nokia 6680 is the only thing i can afford to i make do with it. It's not really a bad phone because the only thing lacking is an FM radio. It's got Bluetooth, dual camera, 3G network and an expandable memory. I'm still using it up to now and it's still working perfectly. I don't have plans yet because i don't think it's practical especially at times like these.

My first phone I bought was about 175.00, and that was with the two year contract. I stopped buying expensive cell phones though because my daughter tends to get her hands on them and they either get thrown or dropped. One of the last phones I had was a Boost mobile phone that was about 80 dollars that wouldn't stop vibrating after she dropped it in water. It would continue to vibrate even if the phone was shut off. So now I stick with the cheap 20 dollar phones haha.

The only phone i bought is my Samsung U700 which was 1 1/2 years ago and back then it was in the Philippines around 17,000. Other than that I do not buy myself a phone because most of the time my brothers would give me their old phones and so I get lucky most of the time back when I was with my parents. Before I love buying new phones but I got tired of buying a new one because sooner or later a new one would come out. So I am sticking to this phone since its convenient for me and it is so easy to use.

My phone cost me just $19.99. It is an emergency only phone, and I only have to pay $20 every three months. If I need more minutes I can buy them, but I have only bought extra minutes 2 times in 3 years. Yes my cheap little phone is 3 years old. I only use for emergencies or to call and say I am going to be late and things like that, I probably only use 1 time a week for 2 minutes. It also has good signal strength believe it or not.
