Gee Surf, 19 pages and you still haven't sold the phone.

You're right, markets have changed, they're not like the '80s any more.

It's not even the mid 2000's that I lived in NYC-- judging by the reaction here--- traders are apparently now at the bottom of the food chain for the most part.

Read this if you want a feel for what it was like---

Quote from Businessman:

You at a dinner party and everyone else has a iphone 5 or an s4 and you pull this POS out. Everyone in the room would laugh at you for being such an idiot with your money.

ohhhh, iPhone 5-- i have 4 of those on my account, my 10 and 13 year old son's each have one- as do most of their friends----- and will be getting the 6 or 5S in September to upgrade each one. Dude, everything is relative-----if you deal with losers, than I guess that's the reaction to expect. Same as driving up to the event in a Bentley-- the losers just don't get it and some hate you for it. Once you start doing what you want, rather than what you think others think, you finally start to understand.

But there is something to be said about finding happiness in things other than gadgets and cars and yachts etc etc.

If you need to latest toy to feel like you have self worth, then something is missing in your life.

Things have nothing to do with happiness. Either you are happy or you are not, it even has very little to do with your circumstances. Regardless, there is certainly nothing wrong with collecting and liking cool, unique items---

This phone is like having a Bentley with a cheap Toyota engine inside.
Except everyone can see the crap engine this phone is running on.

If you have this phone you are lower in status (and tech savyness) than anyone and everyone who has an iphone or a galaxy.

It's called keeping up with the Jones's. It's kind of funny, I do all I can NOT to let anyone know what I have. It's none of their business, I am not out to impress anyone. And when you do have something someone else wants a lot of people will stop at nothing to get it from you. No reason to let everyone know what you have. I wonder if he will tell us his Bank acct # so we can verify his balance?

I agree the tech is weak-- that's why to have both-- if you like the V. If not, and most dont', its not for you. thats cool too. surf

Really? You can't just carry one phone, you need two?

....I carry the iPhone for data and the vertu for voice calls.
