And what have the US customers done to deserve the shaft they are getting from T-Mo here? $180/phone with 24 month service contract and at least $25/month data plan plus whatever voice plan you have, against unlimited data plus free phone for $50 in the UK? This is ridiculous extortion! What am I missing?
This was a simple business decision, because VODAFONE UK offers the BLACKBERRY BOLD for free with a 35GBP data plan. In the US, the G1's initial and running costs are still cheaper than being on Verizon. Plus, every phone T-Mobile seems to be selling in its stores right now seems to be a G1. Why would they lower their price if they can sell it at the current one just fine??
