I know desire makes many of us pay these insane prices for these phones but I was thinking today: is an S6 worth the price of 2x i3 notebooks and some change? If I was paying over cash there is no ways I could justify it so why do we accept huge monthly handset premiums?
The S6 certainly isn't worth that much to me, but a flagship device of my liking is. You use your phone many times every single day, so you benefit from having a great one tremendously. Also, many people just take out contracts and don't ever feel the pain of a lump sum purchase.
