Why mobile phone are expensive?

The price of a mobile phone depends on the facilites or the apps that they provide. You get mobile phoes for various prices. The variation is due to the different technology that is being adopted to bring out that mobile. normal mobiles with no music or camera or anthin won't cost much. So when more and more technology is fabricated, the thing becomes costlier. Moreover they spend huge money for research and development and they have to get those money back, so when a new technolgy is used in a mobile phone, the price is higher. Later on therez is competition and then the price starts to fall slowly. That depends on the market trend.

Mobile phones are expensive becoz you have to pay for having the latest Technology in your hands.. As we all know mobile(and nano) technology is always in the developing stages. The latest technology is always costly but worth having. Another point is that nano devices need very high precision while manufacture. You can't just make things in fluke. More precision means more automated processes, more automated processes means more accurate machines. Accurate machines always costs. And as always you have to pay for the guarantee that the brand gives you. All in all Its worth paying as you mentioned we have everything in our hands

I think that is the new feature and technology makes some cellphones very expensive. Such as if it has a very good digital camera and a GPS device, then the cellphone will be much more expensive. Besides, if it is very smaller. Usually it will be expensive, too. The design seems to be quite important today. People like to use cool cellphones. I don't often change the cellphone. As long as the current one works fine, I don't want to waste my money to buy a new one. Currently my cellphone is Samsung I900. I often use it to watch movies or listen to the books. Sometimes I will use its wifi to get online. I love China

Unless you are buying a phone that will do everything except wipe your nose when you sneeze, they can be cheap. I have a Kyocera phone that only can do very simple things like make a phone call or send a text. I can surf the net with it but I never have. I have a computer for that I paid under $20 for the phone so I don't think it is expensive. I will replace it only if it is lost or broken. I do not care to have the newest and latest things. It's just a cell phone, no big deal

Mobile phones are more for fashion than for communication these days thats why they are so expensive, I had purchased a mobile, Nokia which was very classic and expensive too, it got lost after 2 years now I am using a simple one and I find it very useful as mobile phones should be meant for communication first and then fashion and styles. I can change it to a better one if someone gifted me one but no way to go and waste my money on that.

I think some mobile phones are expensive because they came from the countries which have the cost of living and the loyalty brands.If they producted in around Asia they are not expensive.

it's maybe because of comfort, the integration of technical services. when everything is already there, you don't need to bring with you a laptop, a camera and a phone when you're out. it's more useful for those who frequently travel and those work that need to be connected all the time. when i was still a student, it's a form of a status symbol. so young as I am i changed phone model every year. but now that i earned my own money, i haven't changed my phones for years, i've learned to value the importance of it. when you don't really need it, why buy one when all you do is texting and calling?

I think it really depends on the phone and what it has on it. If it doesn't have a lot of features then it will be cheaper then te ones that hae lots of features. I have an LG enV touch, which I just bought last week. It really wasn't all that expensive compared to other phones. My son hs a more expensive phone than I have, and it doesn't even have a qwerty keyboard on it. So, it reall all depends. I thought of buying the blackberry storm that my son has, but it would have cost more than I was willing to spend, and to get online with it would be much more per month than what I am paying for mine. I have lots of fetures on mine and some Imight use and some I might now, but at least if I do decide to use all the features they are there. I will keep this phone for a long time, as I intend to take real good care of it, so I don't have to replace it that often. Take care, and happpy mylotting.

A brand new mobile phone with latest technology usually is expensive. That is because it using new technology which make the manufacturer to pay some patents' fees. And the manufacturer also need to spend much money for promotional purposes. That's why a new mobile phone is expensive. Recently we were surprised by the fact of Apple iPhone's production fee. It's just less than $200 to producing an iPhone. But why Apple sell the iPhone very expensive? The answer is what i say here. Happy mylotting.
