I fully appreciate, the comments made, on mobiles, what my main point was, is that say for example you go to a shop and want to buy a phone, say a Nokia 1234 (for example), and go to Woolworths, this phone would probabely cost about £90.00, yet you go to Carphone Warehouse, the SAME phone, you could buy for between £60.00 and £70.00 for a range of networks, ie 02, TMobile, or Vodaphone, l know that you could get the phone free, if you had a contract, l just can never understand, why, different companies have the SAME phone, but charge differently, this was the point l was trying to make - told you it would be a good topic.
