If Apple and Samsung are making $200 off of each phone, that's a lot of space for Amazon to slip into given they don't care about phone profits.

- mmanfrin 14y agoThey're making $200 off each phone after subsidy from the carriers -- consumers pay $0 on decent/good phones, or great phones on sale. GS3 was $0 recently, as was the Galaxy Nexus. Only price-point they could compete on is unlocked, but that will be tough with the Nexus 4.
