I guess the parent is a flamebait, but I was going to make a similar point: I got a used entry-level Android smartphone (ZTE Blade) for 100 EUR. Installing a custom Android 2.3.5 ROM on it was easy. A used iPhone 3GS fetches 2 to 3 times the price over here, despite the much inferior screen. I could spend more, but I would constantly worry about losing or breaking it or having it stolen. And when I relax my spending criteria a bit, chances are for 200 to 300 EUR an Android phone would still be a much better value than a used/outdated iPhone.
