If you seriously think the subsidized price of a smartphone is its true cost, you are deluded. Remember the standalone PDA market? Top-end models cost between $500 and $1000. Add phone circuitry and it goes up. No wonder smartphones killed PDAs quickly. When the phone carrier is kicking in $500 or more of the cost, people adopted them quickly. You remind me of the jackholes I dealt with when I was in cellular sales who bitched about the price of a second battery for a phone they got subsidised. "Why is the battery $50? The phone was free!" No, moron, the phone was $300, but the carrier paid that on your behalf to get you signed up for service.

Correction: Android is about data mining opportunities for Google, and you federate shitheqds are so hypnotised by the bullshit Open Source rhetoric that you are all bleating like sheep for the opportunity to hand it all over to them. Motorola is shot selling phones, and don't give a shot one way or the other about you or any other neckbeard idiot.
