It's disturbing that they cost so much.

Though I can't talk, I'm hoping to get the Note8 next month. That's running about $850-950.  :-[

I'm not paying it all up front, smart ass. I do what every other American does...lump it into a 2-year service agreement and pay it each month.

I must not be American. I spent $70 on a crappy LG and pay $40/mo for a no-contract data plan.

It's the same everywhere. Like I said, I'm hoping to get it. Likely I'll be getting something less expensive.

New phone is this Saturday. I'm not going to go hog wild with my phone...the Note5 is perfectly fine, so a Note6 would suit me fine.
