I'm not sure about the providers in the US, but comparing a "free with contract" iPhone 3GS to a $150 Android phone with contract is ludicrous. I can get a Samsung Galaxy S2 right now, for $99 and a contract. That thing will run circles around that old iPhone. This is a marketing ploy, nothing more. Is it any wonder the global economy is in shambles when people can't determine what's free and what is "free"?
