I think that 10¢ was a west coast thing and regulated to 10¢. It was 20-25¢ here till high tech lowered costs and it shot to 50¢-$1.50 in just a couple of years.

It is a choice. And yes, they do like them. But why?
Most reply; faster.
But I've already proved I can outpace the new phones with older tech like a land line or keyboard to three people under 22 that rent from me, and a few tech enamored friends too.
It's new, it's neat, it fits in a pocket so you can break it easier ( 
) but it's not truely better at the job.
Young folks just don't have the practical experience to know the difference yet.... and you cant take the others to school and pass electronics notes all day
I bought a device to try it myself. Maybe I was wrong...Not. I hate it. Slow, and more issues than Internet Exploder at its worst. I got twice as much done on a small laptop computer, and could always see it.
Come on by, we can race! 
....just like if CDs are better, why do audiophiles like analog?
Because analog is a closer reproduction to real life. Digital CDs are a sampling of points from an analog sound wave...the analog is more acurate. We were sold CDs buy hype, all because it was cheaper to make. If real quality was strived for we would at least have 64 bit CDs and players vs 32bit. Mp3-4 is another step down in quality too fyi. That's not better, it's settling.
T gauge is the best because it's smaller and lighter than O ...not.
