This brings up a point which, while obvious, sometimes isn't on the top of one's head - that when you're talking about moving to a different platform, be it on a computer or a smartphone, not only do you have to invest in a new phone, but you probably have to invest in new software for it as well.  Now, sometimes that new computer/phone will come with software or functionality that you previously needed software for is built into the O/S, but still there are probably going to be things you will need new software for.  Oh, and of course all the accessories that are only specific to that phone - like chargers, batteries, various types of cables, external keyboards, cases, etc.  Luckily BT headsets should be transferable, but most other things won't be.  So if the phone is $700, you may end up spending an extra $200 or $300 just on accessories and software!  $1000 to upgrade your phone.  Even if you can sell your old phone and accessories for $500, that's still a $500 upgrade!  Ouch!
