The Difference Between Me And Dave

This is it in a nutshell:

Dave spots a new mobile phone: This one, in fact; decides it's pretty*, and makes a call to buy it. It will arrive tomorrow.

Dave shows me the same phone, I agree that it's pretty* and decide that I'd like one too. Then I decide that I ought to wait until I actually *need* to replace my current phone, which after all does everything I need it to do**, and even when I get to that point, I'll do a lengthy comparison of features and cost before making a final purchase decision. So I may have a new phone before the end of the year. Or I may not.

Spot the difference?

*and has a range of useful features too of course.

** make and receive phone calls, basically.
