Unfortunately, phones are no longer bought based on what features they 
have.  Even more shockingly, even call quality does not seem to really 
matter any more, which is strange because that is WHAT THEY DO.

There are two types of phones that sell.   Once that have the illusion 
of being cheap because they are free with a 10 year, $400/month 
contract, or the ones that are stylish.

It is either Walmart, or Tiffany's.   There is no logic.   They are 
either as cheap as possible, or they are a fashion accessory.
