I was looking around on ebay for a new phone and I saw this: [http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-new-Nokia-8600-Luna-2-MP-Camera-Phone\_W0QQitemZ330135056889QQihZ014QQcategoryZ64355QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem](http://cgi.ebay.com/Brand-new-Nokia-8600-Luna-2-MP-Camera-Phone_W0QQitemZ330135056889QQihZ014QQcategoryZ64355QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) Who the hell pays 900 bucks for a cell phone!? ---

It is a pretty sweet phone. I drop my phones too much to pay almost 1k for one. Hell, I busted my treo every other month. Lol. ---

Its got a good camera and some software features…Still fucking expensive tho. Maybe its cuz there is no contract too. Still, 900 bucks is rough. ---

pay to play. plus, when you upgrade through your carrier, you will most likely recieve a subsidized price if you resign your contract. most people dont realize the phones you buy new from stores for $30 are actually like $300 at retail price. ---

that phone’s sky high cause it was just announced. give it a couple weeks and it’ll be half the price. If you wanna see something that runs circles around the iphone at a similar price point check out the nokia n95. ---
