We spend so much time on our phones, but how much are we willing to spend — even with new technology like a folding screen?

Commuters at the Jenkintown SEPTA station — or any train station — are a good crowd to ask. Part of the routine for many people waiting for a train is to bury their faces in their phones.
But for $2,000?
Russ Starke says no thanks.
"I mean, I think it's great that people are playing with it," he said, "but I don't know that I need that. I certainly wouldn't pay an extra thousand dollars for that."
He says he doesn’t sense a great deal of demand for a screen that folds. But if it catches on, he says, his company will adapt.
Will the technology become a hit, even at that price tag? Some people say it wouldn’t surprise them.
Robin says she knows people out there are all about new technology, but she's fine with what she has.
"I suspect that there are people who would need that and who would think that would be useful," said Robin. "I don't think it's something I need, because I have a laptop and I also have an iPad."
"A folding phone? People are crazy. Who knows?" said Nimish. "Even with business use, what do you really do on a phone? Emails and talk."
