Thats because they know about the buyback program at Best Buy.

I heard the buy back program is a joke, I remember one of the employees trying to sell me that when I was buying a GPS system back in July, I said no thanks, thats how those retailers make money, by selling warranties and now this new buy back program garbage.
Aside from that the gps I bought from best buy for $170 was quickly returned a week later when I saw it at one of there competing retailers for $99.99! best buy is a joke, I am surprised they are still in business, the salesmen there are of no help at all.

I have a Samsung Droid Charge on Verizon and I usually get 10-12 Mbps here in Berkeley, CA. I've gotten as much as 18 Mbps in SF. I've heard in Manhattan you can get upwards of 30-40 Mbps. So yeah it is very fast. I like it.
Wow, Sprint has a true unlimited data plan, I could tether my computer to 4G phone and stop paying $60 for a separate feed to the house...

Typical Republican propaganda. Have you ever stopped to think about your logic (or lack thereof)? Sure if iPhones were made in America they would cost $1000. But let's say that I go out and purchase an "overpriced" iPhone for $1000. Expensive, right? Except that in order to now make that expensive iPhone, Apple now has to hire workers to make them right here in America. So then that guy making the $1000 iPhone for me now has a job. and isn't on unemployment anymore. He has a job and money in his pocket. So, I sell cars for a living. So he buys a car from me. I then make money from him. I then pay more taxes on that money, therefore reducing the budget deficit. That guy is now employed and no longer collecting unemployment, therefore the government doesn't have to spend as much on unemployment benefits. They are now able to pay down the national debt, thereby decreasing the interest paid. Maybe then they can even lower taxes for me and then I can buy another iPhone and start the whole process again.
Suddenly that iPhone doesn't seem so expensive anymore. I'm sure you won't really care about this, but answer me one question. After the debt ceiling can no longer be raised and China won't lend us anymore money and the Fed can't print us anymore money even at 0% interest rates, how do company's ever expect Joe Consumer to ever be able to buy their products when Joe doesn't have a job anymore because his job got sent oversea's to make a product that Joe can now no longer afford to buy?
I wonder what the cost comparison is between a highly automated large scale assy process offshore and in the continental US of A?
