Sprint charges 69.99 and gives unlimited data, unlimited text, 450 anytime minutes, nights start at 7, and now you get TRUE MOBILE TO MOBILE, FOR 69.99 UNLIMITED CALLS TO ANY MOBILE PHONE ON ANY CARRIER, so with all that verizon charges $30 more a month why in the world would you expect the phones to be the same price multiply $30 x 12 months and thats $360 savings in the year, is sprint charging $360 more for the phone, NO. Also with that $360 savings, at verizon your nights start at 9 and you only get mobile to mobile with verizon customers. THAT IS WHY SPRINT CHARGES $150 MORE FOR THE PHONE!!!

Basically everyone expects the same phone to sell for similar prices, just like TV and computers. The price difference just shows that when your locked to a provider they know they can fleece you at will.
