MOST EXPANSIVE CELLPHONES

For this reason, people often donot purchase the most expensive cell phone when they purchase their mobile. Some, though, musthave a costly mobile phone for them, it is a question of prestige, thus show their status and theyreally dont save their money no matter how futile it is.
