Let me guess: You're an iPhone owner, aren't you?
Lots of people are willing to pay good money for a good, unlocked phone off contract.
Maybe not in San Fransisco, or even in the US where the telecom industry is fucked up beyond repair, but that's still quite a tiny fraction of the real world.
- madoublet 12y agoNope. I own a Windows Phone (Lumia 920). It is a good phone, but I would not pay over $600 for it.
- hollerith 12y agoThe Lumia 920 (unlocked) sells for $267 incl shipping at Amazon. (To be precise, it is available for a little less when it is not fulfilled by Amazon.)
- madoublet 12y agoI think I got mine for $50 on contract. But, I have since switched to a cheaper monthly plan that does not subsidize phones. So, my next phone will definitely be unlocked in the $200-400 range. T-mobile is really changing the mobile landscape in the US (for the better, in my opinion). But, this also means that the "real" price of phones will be more apparent.
