Like I said, comes out to be 20 bucks a year for an upgrade. Not too shabby.
The thing is, my point of view (and Flac's) was that I'm completely uninterested in paying $400 for a cellphone. I was pretty interested in paying $200 for that particular phone, but not after learning that it's actually $440, not $200.

If you were already willing to pay $400, then sure, $440 for the next generation is nothing.

But I wasn't.
