I think both the Iphone and the Palm Pre's cost of materials were under $200 and I cant imagine this phone being anymore because it lacks very much built in memory. Both Sprint and HTC are gouging consumers with this phone. I wouldnt be suprised to find out that the $349 they charge with contract is what sprint actually paid for it (especially seeing how tmoibile versions can be found for $149-$199).

I'm actually a very happy sprint user. And before you go spouting off about how nobdy cares about sprint, there are 48.8 million sprint subscribers left. Sprint's "Everything" plans are the best out there, providing that you (and your whole family if you have a family plan) want every feature on your phone to work and you dont to be nickeled and dimed to death. Because verizon and att are gaining customers, they are able to do things like these absurd data plan rates, which are designed to extract lots of cash and provide very little in service. These are by far the worse data plans you could possible get on, because users will feel they are covered and can VERY EASILY go over there limit and get charge PER megabyte. The smarter users will up there plans to the unlimited plans. Eitherway, verizon will now get a lot more money for the same service they were providing either by users not using much data, users going over there limit, or users upgrading there plan to avoid overcharges.

Lets see. $30 for 5000MB for a smartphone data plan and $20 for 75MB for a feature phone data plan. Anybody else see some sort of rapage here for feature phone users? (or "advanced multimedia phone""). You can easily burn through 75mb in a day if watch a lot of youtube vids, so anybody who is inclined to watch video not on the vcast service will get a hugh overage bill if they arent aware. I'm not even sure if 75MB is enough for light web browsing for a month (is their 10MB plan enough to check the weather or email everyday for a month?). I myself have burned through 3.5GB (3500MB) of data a month on my touch diamond just watching vids and browsing for about 2 hours a day (5 days a week). So, if you cant upgrade the plan to a connect plan that has unlimited data, go for a smart phone instead.
