I dunno.
On that note a little side story.
I have a cheapo work phone (straighttalk by Walmart) that I turn off at night and whenever I don't feel like answering because some tweeker needs a desperate fix and wants me to buy his stuff for a few bucks at 10.30 saturday nights or 6.30 sunday morning, which both has happened).

Anyway.... My old one wasn't even a smart phone, so I went to Wallyworld thinking of upgrading to the cheapest Droid.... Expected to spend $80 was hoping for 60 and ended up getting one for $30!!!!
Works like a charm. Everything I need for my biz for $45 a month and a one time cost of $30.
My buddy who needs to 'upgrade' too and was thinking of a iPhone saw it today and was impressed.
Unless you run some super fancy apps or browse the web all day long on it this thing does everything he wants and needs.
Hardly anybody 'needs' the new shiny and fancy stuff. It's all a gimmick!
But let's hope people keep buying into it, so we get their discards a few years later
