Doing a little digging, it seems that it's $199 on Verizon with a contract. But you need a data package on top. It's $60 for 450 minutes.
Go for the Droid Bionic and it's $300 with a 2 year contract. So that _looks_ more expensive, but it's not, because it's $40/month for 450 minutes.
So over the two years that's an extra $480 dollars you spend on the Apple, to save $100 up-front.
I don't see how that's cheaper.
- sebbi 15y agoPeople are stupid ... that's all I can say. We have multiple providers selling the iPhone in Germany. One sells it for 240 € with a 40 € / month contract, another one for 19 € with a 48 € / month contract. It amounts to roughly the same end price (which is ALWAYS higher than buying the iPhone straight from Apple), but people say it's 200 € cheaper on the second provider ... stupid stupid stupid ;-)
- usaar333 15y agoI'm surprised you don't need a data package for a Droid Bionic. On Sprint, an iPhone 4S and highest end Android phone offered (Galaxy S 2) are the same price ($200) - contract details seem the same. My best guess is that highest end Android phones cost about the same as an iPhone 4S.
