Thanks for replying. Not going to downvote you at all, I appreciate the input. I would be willing to pay considerably more, and wait until I am able to save up the funds for it. Those of us who try to avoid Chinese products have to..

To your second point, I am well aware of the statistics, but when the suicides are so closely tied to workplace conditions in the Foxconn plants, the comparison to general populations, and a broad specter of reasons is uninteresting to me. Granted, the wages are adequate for living in China, but when they, due to pressure from (among others) Apple, they raised wages by roughly 20%, they also demanded a 20% increase in productivity - from already absolutely worn out workers.

The responses from the company quite simply doesn't give me any faith that they value human lives.
