I need to select the model and see the equivalent? Really?
No way to just put a price and time and see the equivalent
The prices aren't the same everywhere, even if you find your model

My first smartphone was a single core, Gingerbread phone which I got for $50 and it lasted for 2 years since 2014. If I haven't bought a smartphone back then (which is about 0.2 btc last 2014) I would have some nice $156 as of now. The thing is, that $50 smartphone still is functional today so no regrets, haha.

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.

Wow,cool website.
My first smartphone was really cheap so wouldn`t make a btc fortune.
I bought my first smartphone when bitcoin was around 300$ so i missed the profit anyway.

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.

. still can't find my phone type on your site

Haha this is still very fresh in my mind because I paid half of a bitcoin for my new phone. I couldn't find anyone that owned the phone I wanted that would accept bitcoins so I sold them for $800CAD/BTC. As of right now my phone would have been $500CAD which all things considered would still be an ok deal. That's how much I would have paid after tax if I bought it off of eBay and it would have been even more other places.
The thing is, I use my phone for everything including posting on bitcointalk. So really it's an investment to keep earning bitcoins. If I'm trying to sell something on bitcointalk and I don't get a hold of someone for days because I don't want to be bothered to go to a computer I'll probably lose that customer so it all works out in the end.

Im planning to buy a new smartphone again for the benefit of bitcoin. I need a new phone that will not drain that fast so i think i can still continue to buy hoping i can earn more and it will be an investment too. I was just having other thoughts because of this thread luckily I found your reply so I can still buy.

Current (S6) - $2,385
Earliest phone I had on that list - $6,852,893
I'm probably in the minority on this one. Bought 1st smartphone in 2013 and I really didn't buy it. I upgraded my phone plan and basically got it for a few dollars. Still have the thing, too. Thus I probably would have LOST money if I'd bought any amount of btc in 2013. I'd like to say I planned it this way, but I did not. Earliest phone I had on that list - $6,852,893

Calculated it and well it is really a big return if I bought bitcon but I during those time i was not aware that bitcoin exist. So either way i won't regret buying my CP because during that time bitcoin for me does not exist. And besides, the bought cellphone at served it purpose. Used to contact my group whenever there is an event or a follow up sales is needed.

Lord Have Mercy. If I bought Bitcoin rather than my first phone(Iphone 4s), I would have $122,184 USD by now and just thinking about it, makes me wanna cry. I didn't like THAT IPHONE 4S ANYWAY .

I read about bitcoin end of 2009/early 2010 and though it was intersting but wont get anywhere.
Forward to 2013: i noticed bitcoin again and just though oh well...

$300.
Bought my first smartphone back in 2013, and that was when it was hovering around $700. It's now at the same (or similar) value now and I spent approximately $300 on my first smartphone. As such, my investment wouldn't have changed between those periods of time.
Kind of a shame.

If I didn't had the phone (instead of buying bitcoin) then maybe I wouldn't be aware that bitcoin exists.
The compare is very clear and people will compare the prices in 2030 and will be surprised of the price of 2016

I would probably have something like $500 Canadian in Bitcoin.
Got my first smartphone this year, back when bitcoin was hovering around $600. If I estimate it correct, it would translate into something like $700 or $800 Canadian now that I really think about it, however I don't remember what it was exactly so it really comes down to just a ballpark estimate.

I do not want to know because I do not want to be depressed. I bought my smart phone when the price of bitcoin was still in cents, so you can just imagine how much it could have been by now.
yeah, but thinking like that will eventually drive anyone crazy. i had to pay 30c for a piss in 2009. now that piss would cost millions. thinking like that is pointless.

The manufacturer of the phone I own is listed there on that web page but my phone model isn't still I tell you how much btc I could have owned had I bought them instead of phone with that money and it would be Btc 0.48854717

Honestly the price of bitcoin and the phone there is not the same before and bitcoin price before is cheap so if i did not bought a phone with iphone 5 last year maybe right now it gives me a good profit 100% profit or it double right now because of the price increase from last year.. but it is not a problem because we are still getting the benefits of price increase right now even we don't holding lots of bitcoin..
Yeah. If I were to discover bitcoin as earlier before I bought my phone. Maybe right now I am holding for about two to three Bitcoin approximately right now. Especially I am doing trading, which I can double or triple my bitcoin in no time if lucky. And spending on nonsense stuffs like things that I don't really need rather than investing in trading. I think if I did the right thing, it may generate a decent amount of profit right now.
