Excuse me they have a unlocked/unbranded V3i or sites like mobilebee.com that is only about $307.00 and unlocked phones I've come to expect to be at least maybe $100 to $200 more pricey than branded phones released through service providers. Never saw ANY phone by ANY provider come close to actually being more expensive than what people say is the more desirable usually unlocked and unbranded ones. That's sheer nonsense, but I guess it makes sense to you. And for the record iTunes (blah!) whatever, sure doesn't justify that price that was quoted. Get over the fascination with iTunes, it doesn't make this phone worth over $300 or $400 bucks.

Eh whatever if they DO actually price the phone thus, it's their funeral, and it will be to thier own shame if they have any. Later
