To buy or not to buy?

The dilema is about mobile phones. Nowadays everybody has them. They range from very cheap to unbelievably expensive ones, from simple ones to those with a million gadgets on them. So, how to decide what to buy? Well, the answer seems to be simple: buy what you need! And if you decide to buy a phone, you probably need it to call others or send text messages.
When you finally decide on that, you have to choose the type of phone (and by type I mean whether you want a Motorola, a Nokia or something else) and there's also the price to consider.

After this excruciating brain-exercise you finally go to the shop. And now the real problems begin! A million different phones on display! Suddenly you change your mind and think to yourself: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a camera on it, too? ... Or maybe an MP3 player? ... Or..." But then you remember that 99.9% of the time you just use the phone to call or text-message people. So, is it sensible to spend heaps of money on all those extras you'll probably never use anyway? But then again: it looks good to have an expensive phone like that - it upgrades your image...

All this just seems to go on and on and on. At the end you probably end up with the cheapest version possible, perfactly satisfied, and wonder why you bothered so much with a problem that never really was a problem anyway - that is, to buy or not to buy!
