I bought my first smartphone in 2013, when the BTC exchange rate was around $15 per coin. I paid around $90 for the phone. So if I had purchased Bitcoins instead of the phone, I would have had BTC6 in my wallet right now. In today's exchange rate, that amounts to $4,500.

It's such a regret for me to realize this late! Only if I have known bitcoin earlier than i had bought my first smartphone then probably I'm rich right now.
Technology is changing fast from time to time. Gadgets are no good investments because as each day passes by, a new gadget is being launched and the older ones become obsolete. The price of the gadgets are dropping as it becomes obsolete. But if we invest in bitcoin for sure our money for now would have grown already. But then I had made my choice in the past . For now, I'm doing my best in bitcoin.

I got my first phone before bitcoins came on the scene but I was getting a replacement phone around that time(2009~2010) an iphone 3G am sure I would have been sitting on over 5000 bitcoins by now

I have bought my first smart phone in the end of January of 2014. As I know bitcoin that time was costed approximately as today, around 700$. So with simple calculation I wold have like 0,15 bitcoin in the case if I would spend those money for bitcoin instead of to buy the new phone.

I'm so glad I bought that phone!
I think it was a moto g, and it got out in November 2013.
I bought mine in december 2013, and at that time bitcoin was at its highest point so far.
I do not know exactly how much I paid, but the bitcoin price at the moment is still beyond the price at that time.

But how much is the phone worth now?
And In 2020 how much will the phone be worth compared to a 1-2 btc?
It's a good example to buy btc sooner rather than later!
The phone is worth not much anymore.
But I was able to use it for about two years until I got me another one.
If I bought bitcoin at that time I might still have them, but I would not have been able to use a smartphone for two years.
In general I think the example to compare bitcoins with smartphones is chosen a little unfortunate.
A good for use can not be compared to an investment.
Things you use always end up with little to no worth in the end, while investment should bring more than you put into it.
I am still glad I bought that phone, no matter in what currency I paid for it.

The worst fault in my life. Even I was using my fund rather than buying iPhone at 2009 and 2010. I may think if i already become a millionaire at this time. 
Same here! The biggest mistake in my life is i did not believe in bitcoins before. if only i have listened to my friend, maybe i would have more than 80 btc now, because by year 2009 instead of thinking to invest, i just buy some stuff that is only i dont need, now if only i could turn back time, i will buy some bitcoins, save and hold until its price increase.

This is an interesting website. I had my smartphone last year and I bought it about $320. So for bitcoin now, it's half. 0.5 BTC for it. But that was the last year's price, now it is 0.25 BTC (If I get the best deal in selling it) but I think I won't sell it anymore. The smartphones' prices easily decline, especially for Samsung phones. Sadly for me, the website doesn't have my phone in it.
Therefore, I think I can conclude that I should buy Apple because the price doesn't decline that much to their original prices.

Apple is the smartphone equivalent of gay porn.....

Never bought smarphone in my life since I work with the benefits given by the company to provide us a cellular phone. It's hard to go back to the past but I just hope that time when bitcoin was cheap I know bitcoin and I see guidance from God to invest on it.
I haven't bough yet my smartphone because most of my phone is just a giveaway or a gift so I don't know if how much I would have now.
Maybe if I will consider instead of gifting me smartphone then bitcoin would be fine and I guess it will range to 0.5 BTC only.
For the smartphone that I'm using until now is not that expensive it is way back when the price is still $400.

I would have 1.5 bitcoin if I had not bought my mobile.It wasn't expensive as bitcoin price at that time was around $300-400.(NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART LOL)

Honestly I don't repent my decision as due to my phone, I have earned almost double bitcoin.I have spent all is another matter

My first smartphone wasnt a big deal, but currently, seeing the price of bitcoin, and the value of the equivalent smartphones, i'd have got a fair amout of 0.36 bitcoins if i had bought bitcoins then.
November 20, 2016, 05:25:53 AM
Thought the phone i have bought is not mentioned on that site but i can do an estimate of the price which was around $150 that time and if we see the price of bitcoin then maybe i would have around 0.3btc out of that.
November 20, 2016, 05:12:21 AM
when i got my first phone bitcoin was not even created so i wouldn't know how much i would have exactly if i got bitcoin instead of my phone, but my current phone is about 150$ and i got it back when bitcoin was about the same price so i would have 1 btc but obviously i wouldn't keep 1 btc all this time i would either spend it all or made a fortune out of it
November 20, 2016, 04:49:13 AM
I would have had 250k$.
This website does a great job to make people feel like shit. Congratulations. The thing is, what's done is done. We can only hope for that we are still in the early phase and wait.
By the way you really should add more mobile phones to tour website. When i searched mine and couldn't find it, I didn't like it. I know it is stupid since most of the phones have a similar price but people will search for their phones:)

my smartphone costs only $40 so I think buying bitcoin for such low quality won't give me noticeable profit. so i am waiting few years more so that I would have more money in pocket and i could buy wholly 1 bitcoin and then I will start trading.
November 20, 2016, 04:40:05 AM
Probably i had been done a net profit of about 70% because at the time when I had bought my smartphone bitcoin's rate was around $190 and now after 1 year im suffering pinky losses and losses. I wish i had bought bitcoin instead of my smartphone. Now no use of weeping.
November 20, 2016, 04:30:41 AM
Actually the price of phone you own keep on decreasing while the price of gold/bitcoin will keep on increasing. Thats why better to buy some gold/bitcoin rather than things like mobile/car/big tv if you don't need them. I only carry 100$ worth smartphone i don't think i will ever by any iphone.
Nice website, i think you have developed it.

Thanks for the credit but I didn't develop it
I have owned many smartphones, if I count the ones I lost and broken as well, the cash would be worth ~2 million dollars in btc today, one of my first was this one and bought one for wife also:
Samsung Galaxy S2
If you invested the price of the phone at launch into Bitcoin, today that Bitcoin would be worth:
$187,508 USD (16GB)
Launched 2 May 2011
Unlocked Price $799 (16GB)
Bitcoins Purchased 249.688 BTC (16GB)
Value Today in Bitcoin $187,508 (16GB)
Return 234.68x price, 166.9% IRR
