Thanks for the clarification, Scott.

I don't have it on the field. It is, however, in my equipment bag, which is either on the bleachers during league play or in the tower during tourneys.

What do you mean it's off? You mean turned off? It's definitely not in any of my pockets on the field. That's a $600 phone!

NC - A $600 PHONE? For that price, I hope it can slice, dice & make Julienne fries (as well as make a call).

PC WARNING!! Don't look below if you shock easily!!










Personally, I would be expecting a soft pair of lips, and that it swallow.

I didn't pay $600, guys. I paid $179. It's called subsidizing, and every carrier does it. That's why most carriers make you sign 2-year agreements, as the cost of your plan offsets the cost of the phone. If you try to buy the phone outright, that's how much it would cost.

Sheesh, you guys haven't heard about this?

No, it is inflationary posting. Much like that $49 room at Motel 5.9 that lists the daily room value on the back of the door as $159.

The phone, and everything else, is only worth what some sorry ******* is stu......willing to pay for it.

Anybody can afford to give you a 50% discount when the item is marked up 70-75% over cost. You really don't think retailers discount articles as much as advertise, do you?

Of course not. And it's not 70-75%, it's often 100% or higher.

But hey, supply and demand. The supply is there, but the demand is REALLY high.

Personally, I don't mind what I spent at all. My wife and I don't have land lines, and these phones are, in my opinion, a bargain for what I get out of them.

Not me. I'm still using two tin cans and a long, long, L-O-N-G string.

I have seen something similar before. pitcher refused to take the rubber pouting about balls and strikes. my partner behind the plate called time, and asked the coach for a new pitcher. the pitcher upon hearing this threw a fit, and basically ejected himself outa the game.
