Plus US prices exclude sales tax (as that varies by state) while UK prices include VAT. There is actually very little difference in pricing between the two countries.

Not even close. The fingerprint sensor in the HTC is ten-year-old scanning technology; Touch ID is a genuine touch-reader. It also reads your finger or thumb at just about any angle.
The NFC payment system doesn't ever store your card details in the phone, nor transmit any of them to a cardreader - it stores only an encrypted hash which generates one-time codes, and those are the only data that ever gets passed to a merchant, so you don't have to worry about the latest in a long line of retailers having their card details hacked.
Compare photos from both cameras, especially in low-light, and it's immediately obvious that the iPhone 6 camera leaves the HTC one for dead.
I could go on. The HTC One was a nice phone for its time, but there is absolutely no comparison between the two.
Nor does the iPhone in real-life. Apple sold 10M iPhone 6's in the opening weekend, and millions more since. You want to know how many cases there have been of bent phones, including the ones deliberately bent with the absurd amount of force seen in the videos? Nine.

The price doesn't drop in a few months - only in a year's time, when the next model is out.
As with many things in life, you get what you pay for. There are plenty of people who think it's 'nuts' to spend more than £100 on a bike; you are simply the smartphone equivalent of those people.

By me, any telephone not hanging on the wall in the kitchen is a miracle of technology. I remember when they talked about how we would all have wireless phones one day, but we were still with rotary dial phones, and my Aunt still had a party line and a phone one generation after the cranked telephones. If I were you, I'd get a cheap cell phone, and take the difference in money, and buy Apple Stock. If I had done that back in the day of the original MacIntosh, I'd be writing this post from atop my pile of money now. Didn't have money for either, though.

Garmin has a new fitness band The Vivosmart that gives vibration alerts for IOS and Android. I am not sure about the range away from the phone. I think the phone has to have a newer version of Bluetooth but I am not sure. DC Rainmaker did a review here but I think they are so new that there are not a lot of in depth reviews on them yet. I am also not sure if it vibrates when the phone rings or just when you miss the call. I am not sure about the configuration options on it, just thought I would throw it out there. Just something I saw that I thought might be fun to have. I have talked to a few people that have fitness band/activity trackers and they say they like them.

Depends when you sold, though - if you'd sold in early 1997, not so much! Buying then and selling now, however ...

Cheers, in the end she wanted the old biddy smartphone thats extra loud as she does not like to wear bracelets , well thats here excuse.
To be fair the user interface of the doro 810 is very easy for the non techy like her but i can install stuff she might like on it like repeat notifications etc and her old phone which was a samsung wave running bada we will keep and i might take it as a phone for my cycle jersey rather than the phone i have as its smaller .

Not sure if some people don't know how contract phones work or if they are deliberately ignoring the fact that contract phones exists because it breaks their indignation.
I paid £0 up front for my iPhone 5 and I will be paying £0 upfront for my upgrade to iPhone 6 come December and I get to keep the 5. I would have paid a identical ammount of money had I got a galaxy and gone with android.
I use apple because when we had android tablets my dad and my kids managed to fill them to the brim with virus from the app store and it negated the reason why I bought tablets in the first place, which was so I didn't have to do bloody tech support for PCs any more. Yes I consider my kids and my dad to be idiots when it comes to anything tech related, no I don't want to do anything to a tablet other than have it turn on and then work. With Apple I have to do absolutely 0 maintenance and because we are on it for both phones and tablets it's all seamless.
I get how there are people who think that this is on easy mode, well I like easy mode and if easy mode saves me hours of tedious fixing stuff a week then I'm well on board the apple train.
