They should've sold it unlocked for $250. God knows they could afford it!! Phones shouldn't cost so damn much, it costs about $180 to make the best modern smartphones.

@jellotime91: You're happily forgetting stuff like shipping, retail and marketing there, and you'd have to sell a lot of phones for minor profits (relatively.)

@jellotime91: where I live [the Maldives], and I bet a lot of other places where subsidies from carriers don't exist; people actually pay upwards of $1000 US to buy premium smart phones like the iPhone. $530 sounds like a ridiculously good deal to me.

@jellotime91: The 2nd and subsequent phones cost $180 each to make. The 1st one costs $180 million.
