Taking a loan does not make a purchase easier, you pay even more anyway

Yes, as I said, they're stupid.

So point still stands, a $450 phone IS an egregious lot

No, it doesn't. And no, it's not. $450 gets you a SIGNIFICANTLY better device than $200. Probably 95% of available phones are well over $200. Just because you personally can't afford it does not make it "egregious".
