not true. They wanna make their money back fast they will put it at cost of manufacture plus a bit more and they will sell. Only reason phones more expensive in europe is casue the euro is worth more. and if they really wanna make a profit charge the cell phone companies like a quarter fee per phone they use on their network call it usage fee or something problem solved.
