If you bought a new Smartphone for 2000$ 8 years ago, would you still pay the same amount of money for that exact smartphone today?
I would not, because 8 years have passed and that smartphone is now outdated, same as my Siemans C55 many, many years ago.I have always considered you knowledgeable and logical based on your posting, so I am not sure what exactly you are trying to prove here.
Are you trying to convince me of something that isn't, or yourself?
