You and I have the same point exactly, but, I think THE BIGGER PROBLEM is that consumer culture jumps to buy devices like this without EVER considering the fact that maybe, just maybe $600 for a cellphone and $50 a month for a plan just might be TOO MUCH.
Yes many professionals make $80,000~100,000 (OR MUCH MUCH MORE) but these phones are digital TOYS and targeted at an age demographic that on average cannot afford a device like this.
True Professionals are more likely to have Blackberry's, Treo's or other smartphones not focused on digital media. funny thing is, if you are a computer teacher in a public school or work for apple, you get Iphones almost free (at the expensse of the taxpayers in many cases). Many proffessionals with this phone don't even have to pay for it.
