breakdown

I was curious if there are any websites that detail how much it costs to make a phone. Not a cell phone but a landline phone.

It seems that the ones with any decent features have always cost $100+ and I'd have thought that the price would have dropped over the years but that doesn't seem to be happening.

So I figured I'd look into the cost of making the phones.
