It's not good that you have a choice of one phone with 128GB for under 
R1500, I suppose it's better than a choice of zero ...

You could get 64GB for about R1000, but I see the weasel words "4GB RAM 
extended" which I think means 2GB of real memory plus 2GB of fake memory?

I don't claim to know the equivalent spending power of R vs $ vs £, but 
it seems the real choice begins at R2000
