My brother is very well-off. He drives a Camry and the soles of his shoes have holes in them. But he spends hundreds of thousands of dollars a year on travel with his family.

I have been on a plane less than 5 times in the past 20 years.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.
Can you please tell us what he does for a living and if he is interested in investing in a small piece of ocean front property outside of phoenix? Spider Monkey stalls are already built and occupied!

I have no problem with what you just said and agree. I guess I am just simply not up on these high priced phones. Hell I just bought my first smart phone a month ago. An iPhone 4 from Verizon. My Dad has verbally told me numerous times that I am stupid for the money I have spent on cars in the last 10-15 years and I am 55, so I hear ya.

He is retired.

But he was formerly the President of Ryland's Homes - during the boom.

Got out just at the right time. Bastard.

It just seems strange to pay a premium for a product that is - at least based on my understanding - technically inferior to an iPhone 4/BlackBerry. The high purchase price goes to exclusivity, the concierge service, and bling materials rather than tech.

I don't understand this.

It's basically a fancy blackberry? How is it worth 20 times as much?

Just curious.

Is it made with any special type of materials? Does it get service anywhere and everywhere, is it bulletproof, waterproof, does it have fingerprint recognition? Any special cool options that come with the 7,800 dollar sticker?

If you look on their website, you will find a series of small videos , where they test each type of phone. The prices are so high because of the rare and expensive materials used, like silver, titanium, cristal, rubines, and diamons of carbon fiber. Basically , it is the luxury division of Nokia.
Also, they make them in limited editions, so if you want exclusivity, you have a range to choose from.
