I was very tempted with the Xperia aureolin suggested and even though I am mainly 'on the road' and need a decent phone, with decent spec - I couldn't justify spending that much money. Even though it would be doubling up as my office and I tried really hard to justify it, I couldn't.
If I worked 9-5 in an office, 5 days a week, 20 days a month - I would struggle even more to justify spending that much money on a phone. To spend all that money then not be able to use it for the majority of its contract, due to being behind a desk and having access to a computer and desk phone...
Unsurprisingly, I agree with everything you've said here.
For more or less the same price you can purchase either a mid to top end Windows-based laptop or a entry-level Macbook. You could also purchase a top-end tablet which would have many of the same mobile features.
Besides, in a couple of years time the spec of the S6 will be standard in most mobile phones at a fraction of the cost. Plus, all the bugs (if any) will be ironed out by then.
