eh, i think i'd rather buy the phone w/ a contract for around 250. (as long as its w/ a gsm carrier) ...keep it for a few months then if i feel like jumping ship, hit the ETF for maybe 200-250 bucks at the most. On top of that, pay to get it unlocked...about $40 bucks the last time i got my phone. Still save a couple hundred.

~$700 for an unlocked device with no memory expansion. If that's not a rip-off then I don't know what is.
Rip off?
Mac Book AIR!!!
Why are you guys surprised at the $700 price tag? Its the new hotness, unlocked and being sold at best buy. (no rebates bitch)
Its the same as a phone starting at $650, but is locked, after rebates and 2 year slavery commitment it ends up being $250.

$1000/year phone with no memory expansion is even more of a ripoff.
Yeah, I'm talking about the iPhone.
