There were some outrageous phenomenon I saw online. Some cellphones were selling for over a $1,000? How could that be? It must be some kind of CIA, high tech and spy - capable type of cellphone. Maybe I am a little exaggerate on the description, but I won't pay for something over $200 with or without contract. For me, I might simply need a cellphone to communicate with friends when I was on the road, or they desperately need to reach me or vice versa. With all the new features on the cellphone, I really don't have much time to use them or I barely use them for any reason at all. So, just give me a cell phone with email capability, that is all I need. So, if you are those cell phone fans, how much are you willing to pay for one?

I would be willing to pay about $800 for the new iPhone without a contract, or $300 with a contract. Yes, you could call it a CIA, high tech, spy-capable phone. I can literally not think of one thing it cannot do. I had a headache one day, so I searched its app store and found an application which treated it with sound and vibration therapy! It also has video calling, 6-axis motion sensing and a touchscreen.

But think about all the service you have to pay for. Would it worth the cost? I just wonder how many of you really can pay for it within a month. I mean how much you really want pay that fee for that service just check and using its app stores?

The service doesn't really cost that much, because you can get the same services on the iPod Touch, which only costs about $200. What really contributes to the price are the extra hardware features, like the two amazing cameras, the sophticated design and antenna system, the much better screen and processor with more RAM, the gyroscope, GPS, compass, and all the other things a phone normally has.

I wouldn't pay more then $200 for a cellphone with contract. I love technology, but if I would prefer an iPod Touch then an iPhone. Something that I can connect to twitter & msn + text, that's enough for me.

That would be very high end phone if it cost that much. Honestly, I won't buy a cellphone that much. I always think of how well is the cellphone and certain features that would really be necessary so that my money would be maximized.
