We decided that there are other things in >> life we want to spend our hard-earned money on apart from a new $1,200 or >> 1,500 cell phone every year or two and that is what many of the new phones >> cost in canadian Dollars by the time we add taxes and so on.

Then of course we would think that since we >> don’t replace our phones all that often we should probably go for the 128Gb >> model which is only $70 Canadian more, $1,099 instead of $1,029 so add >> another $156 including taxes and we are now at a bit over $2,900.
