Samsung’s Galaxy Note 8 has a price tag of $930.

A coworker told me a tale of woe tonight — he and his girlfriend got the same model of phone, from LG. They kept having it die, and kept taking it, and their vendor just kept replacing the phones. Finally his girlfriend got wound up about this, called the LG hotline, they referred her to Verizon, Verizon gave her another one of the same model, plus they refunded her purchase price (!). The new one arrived DOA, so she used the refund money to get a different LG model.

That’s perserverance. :^)

Somewhere in the mid 90s, I think my x86 286 with a math co-processor and extended memory of 1 megabyte cost me $2k.

Is a $1000 too much for a Phone?
***********
For a phone? YES certainly .. however if it’s mobile computing you are really asking about and not placing phone calls there are much better and less costly solutions. Combining the two into a device too small to be useful due to screen size (as compared to a large tablet or laptop) is prohibitively expensive.

Just as the iWatch is useless because it doesn’t have enough battery to be useful as a true watch,, requiring constant charging.
