If you look at the number of total mobile subscribers in the Sri Lankan community and the number of subscribers who have so called expensive phones its just a small percentage. You have posted this thread just because some people you know have expensive phones (And not because u have done a survey). And I'm very much sure that people you associate with are rich enough (Than most of the average people) and can afford such gadgets.

But the craze of having a ‘posh’ phone is with a very minor crowed who is technology savvy which I believe is their choice of living. Some people spend for cloths and some for boozing more than others. But that doesn’t mean that there is a craze in the community as such. Its individual centric. That’s how I see it.

Why are these people missing the point?

If you have money, it's fine to do whatever you want with your money!! Period!!!

If you don't have money, and you're spend all you've got in your bank account on an expensive mobile phone (which is out of credits most of the times btw), you are an ASS!!!

    True :)

    But not only money justifies owning some expensive gadgetry, they should also bear the knowledge to make use of all the features of the gadget ;)

    Exactly!! Its a waste.. you dont use it!! dont buy it!! this theory makes a huge difference when it comes to phones.. more sophisticated things you buy the more nature will be robbed of its resources!!

    So if you don't need it, just let someone else get it whom actually in need of it.... that way you save your money and also help environmental causes!!
