Im using iphone, Facebooking, surfing(google), internet banking(really helped me alot), gps(really helped me alot), play games, apps(there are many useful apps), forex trading on the go, watching astro, The star E paper, and ALOT lah!
I even likes and appreciates my iphone more than my laptop.
Only dumb people who never owned smarphones will say something stupid like that.

I noticed most people only utilize 10% of their smartphone features daily.

I would say it's a waste to spend more than RM2K for that alone while you could achieve the same result by spending RM500-RM700 only.

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

Everyday can see people use smartphone in train. Few k spend just to play kanak-kanak games and watch aunty tv series.

I also plan to buy a new phone, but I'll get that cheapest Windows 8 phone from Nokia. Gonna use it to listen to music with headphone and read useful stuff on my way home. Also gonna store some diagnostic software to test PC.
