I donno why ppl are wasting their money on S3 / Note or Iphone.

Bought it for 2k and just using it to update FB and post pictures in Instagram?

WTF? Stupid youth nowadays...

A lot of people buy the phones to check and send emails, fast access to internet and news browsing, tweet, read ebooks, update Facebooks, take and share pictures, play games, besides making calls and sending sms. Don't knock it if you haven't tried it. It's their money to waste. Freedom of choice. If you don't like smartphones, then it's ok also, it's your choice.

How i justify my phone

My phone RM899
Free gba = RM199
free ds = RM499
free snes system = RM299
free psx system = RM499
games that comes with it RM50-150 x 500 = RM50000
free tablet (most things a tab can do a phone can do it) = RM1899
free laptop (most things a lap can do a phone can do it ie doc reading, torrent, manga, surf, etc) = RM2199
free camera = RM900
Mobility bonus (phones are mobile, hence they command premium to everything above) = +20%
Overlapping eliminations (some stuff tablet can do, laptops can do too. some games gba has, ds has too, hence eliminate) = -40%

RM55594 x120% (mobility bonus) x60% (overlapping eliminations)
My galaxy W worth = RM40027.70
Galaxy W price = RM899

anda ada masalah dengan justifikasi saya?
I would argue the mobility bonus should be closer to 60-100%, because a phone is 100g. but a laptop/tablet,gba/snes system, psx system, tv, could all weight 10000g++++

hence, i would argue mobility bonus should be 150%-200%. This increases the value of my phone to RM60k-70k

monthly spending RM150

RM150 x 12 = RM1,800

Smartphone can do what your PC cant...

Example:

I use my smartphone to navigate to a place
- Waze, a very smart apps to use, can tell which traffic is jam, weather condition, accidents, happen where the path you taking so you can avoid it, laptop dont have such apps to tell you right? Another thing, your dun bring your laptop out and dun have GPS and data connection, how can it navigate you? You can buy a gps device, but not so convenient and its features are not at par with Waze.

I use free calls
- Viber, use it for free calls, no additional charge! and you can send FREE message too... why would you pay for voice call and sms while there is an apps can do it for free on smartphone?

I use for gym logs record
- Jefit, it trains you how to workout and i use it keeps track my workout record on my smartphone and sync to server. So you dont have to bring your diary book or paper to record... SAVE PAPER

Snap snap snap!
- Camera, it is fun to use smartphone camera to take photo, or even video recording in full HD, and share with your friend through FB after edited or before edited or via HDMI on your tv the same way as digital camera did. But digital camera i believe it is not cheap if it is capable to do like that. So all in one smartphone is so convenient.

Facebook is not just about the update
- Facebook, you can read some useful articles / funny videos posted on your newsfeed, the fun moment is there when you are outing and waiting... so you wont get bored!

Browsing
- Internet browser, you can browse everywhere wherever you are, no need to search for wifi connection as your heavy laptop need. Sometime If I need to check something on the internet, smartphone comes in handy, I can check it immediately through browser

Music
- music player, haha... this apps is the most of the time im using, when workout you can listen to music, yes, non smartphone can listen to music, or even a ipod, but smartphone is a smartphone, those apps specially designed to run on it have tons of features (lyrics displayed, equalizer, bass, etc) compare to non smartphone music player.

Portable gaming device
- Tons of 3D graphic games, Im using note 2 now of course playing those excited 3D games like NFS not like those kids game (bubble, Bejeweled, etc) lolx..., besides that, there are many great and nice 3D graphic games that my PC cant even run it properly. In fact, PC is a pc most of the time are for work so not going to do upgrade just for gaming purpose.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You would say.. .a cheap smartphone will do those things why would I buy a high end smartphone?
IMO, here is my experience of using mid budget smartphone and high end smartphone ...


This year in January i bought a Galaxy W which cost RM1k....
Then last month just switched to Note 2... cost RM2.3k


The differences:

Galaxy W is a smartphone why would i change it... NOT because i have the $$$, not because of the trend, and not because want to show off... it is because.. many things i wanna do with mid range smartphone is too lags... the hardware is not capable of doing it that smoothly until you gone crazy wait the apps to load this and that and kill apps... Moreover, the screen on Note 2 is nicer and bigger to view. Of course screen bigger cost more, so the phone price cost more too.

So to solve the issue is to get a high end smartphone once for all consider a reward for myself lolx , even if later I wanna change phone again, can sell off it which give higher value than the mid budget phone biggrin.gif

You cant follow the trend changing in technologies... it changes too quickly same goes to your PC. Every person has their own desire, they buy something must be have their purpose for it ... whether to show off, or utilized the phone features. For me, it serves me well, im satisfied=D
cheers!

depend on ur wealth

if i earned 10K per month, i don't mind spending that much on phone

btw, i stay near tropicana

many rich uncles drive porche, ferrari, lambo, audi...

i bet 90% of them never drive faster then 150kmph

so why spend millions to buy sport car when u not fully utilized it?

simple answer, because they are rich and can afford
