The xv6700 remained that price till about fall or winter 2007/2008 and the only reason the price decreased was because of the xv6800 if I do recall.
also the data package on vzw started at 30 bucks and for exchange services 45 bucks at the time the iphone was released...so on new plans not all ppcs and plans were as expensive as they were in like 2005
proof of xv6700 pricing is right here

Your numbers aren't all that different form mine. Yours show it was $400 on Verizon with a new 2 year contract, and the link I posted shows it was $450 on Sprint after a new 2 year. Either way, that iPhone came in at a significantly lower price ($299 for the 4 gig and a $20 data plan that included text messaging- and refurb 4 gigs for $99).
