everyone is wrong. back in the middle of october i was talking to a vzw rep and he said that the RETAIL for the phone would be close to $500. i wouldnt be suprised if the two year agreement price was any lower then $250
Its a great marketing strategy, lets say $149.99 plus the data package, plus your minutes, and texts, plus insurance, all together is at least $100.00 a month assuming that you just get the Everything Plan (Or whatever Verizon calls it, if applicable.) If the Storm were more than lets say $250 not as many people with no knowledge of the device or features would want to buy it meaning that sales for the unit would go down and not as many plans a year. Because the price point is less than people will probably think less about whats actually required with the device (Data etc.) because the price is so attractive, and bam, 1 mil sales.
I was just at a Best Buy store in Minnesota, and they are pre-selling the Storm with a $50 deposit. I now have an apointment to get my Storm on the day it launches. brilliant.
