True, but we do live in 'Rip off Briton'.
As for buying, i've found brand new Unlocked phones starting at £25 and locked ones starting at £10, but you do have to look out for deals.
For most people they can walk into a mobile store and get a basic phone for £20-30 so its not a big deal.
Those prices were more of an example. While Europe does tend to be a little more expensive, parts of Asia are even cheaper.
It was also more to do with the actual cost of making the phone in response to pilotbob's comments.
