That phone is out of style with no built-in camera, hence it is very cheap.
Should the comma be replaced by a a full stop?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
I think I would use a colon.
@spendius,
I think I would too. However English is becoming more liberal every day
@spendius,
I disagree with the use of a colon. A semicolon would be better. Or a period.
@Roberta,
I think the longest pause possible is needed to give proper weight to "hence it is very cheap" but a full stop would break the sentence.
I had a jest in mind as well Roberta.
@Roberta,
Oops Rob, thanks, and I now agree. I misread "colon" as "semicolon"

It could be, Ms Tan, if a period/full stop is what you want.
@JTT,
Then a new paragraph is okay too.
A new chapter even. Whatever floats your boat.

And the stars will fall from the heavens, rivers will run upstream, and your mug will be perpetually full of your favorite beverage, Spendi.
See, there are benefits.
