In comparison to other phones on similar subscription plans $199 is quite a steal. <br>That never ending list of specs!

I won't coment on the techical specs, but the pricing is in no way<br>
comparable. The iPhone v2 might be 199$, but that's with a 2 year AT&T<br>
subscription. If you want a real comparison of the real device price, at<br>
least double the iPhone price. There was some country where Apple had to<br>
sell the original iPhone separately too because of the law (france?<br>
gremany?), and then it was priced 799€ or thereabouts iirc. So to<br>
compare the actual phone price, I think iPhone is even more expensive.<br>
