An interesting topic and probably with mixed views. What would happen if you had a mobile contract that didn’t cover the cost of the handset or the subsidised cost. Instead mobile operators would help by offering payment of the handset over the contract period.

I could see premium phones struggling to be sold and the more mid prices and low cost value phones become more popular. This may be more of a reality in today’s economic crisis. However, some phones always have a lust factor and people will pay regardless.

What do you think?
