No thanks, I'll buy the 920 with my money. If someone is giving it for free then I wouldn't mind having a nicely designed toy as well.

To be honest... I never bought every single of Apple product...
I just collect it from my neighbor relatives and friends once they tired of it...

20. fsnas posted on 14 Sep 2012, 04:45 4

i'll buy an iPhone once it gets these features:
- bluetooth file transfer
- NFC
- wireless charging
- pureview camera equivalent
- puremotion HD+ screen equivalent
- SD card
- solid quality (no breakable glass)

otherwise, i will definitely go with nokia lumia 920!

23. haseebzahid posted on 14 Sep 2012, 05:31 1

24. speckledapple posted on 14 Sep 2012, 05:59 1

Almost 1000 dollars for the unlocked version of a 4 inch phone. Pretty much is a mini computer but not sure on the cost above that of a tablet.

The iPhone never appeal to me, it is not that I don't like, it just it doesn't attract me. I don't find anything attractive and value for money for it.
The only things that's very appealing to me, Nokia Windows Phones and Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

A lot of money to a regular features smartphone...

I find it rather interesting that the Canadian dollar is currently worth more than the U.S. dollar, yet the Canadian versions cost more.

32. mrbtree posted on 14 Sep 2012, 10:30 1

import tax and the cost of shipping, simple as that. here in aus we pay close to $800 for a 16gb iphone 4s. a samsung galaxy nexus is $496 and a samsung galaxy s2 is $538. current flagships (one x, s3, note) are still cheaper than the base iphone 4/4s/5

30. Rayvelynn posted on 14 Sep 2012, 09:53

Who pays that much for an Iphone that are missing several features that the Android now has, OMG Greedy Bas#$@*DS, I'm so tired of Apple. Thats like rent money, a car payment, a trip I could be taking. I'm sorry I would not be paying that much for no damn phone that's ridculous & who ever goes out & purchases it for that much are stupid themselves

31. prototype posted on 14 Sep 2012, 10:04

OMG how much profit Apple want !

33. Muzhhur posted on 14 Sep 2012, 11:50

its so expensive, Mexico doesnt have lte network, I think its just a waste of money for an unfashion device, I want the Lumia 920.
