Come on guys, it's macro economics 101, there is only one thing that determines price (actually 2), supply and demand. While a price can be set (initially) anywhere, the market will eventually establish the price. If the unit sells like crazy, then the price will remain the same (or possibly go higher). If the i600 sits on shelves, the price will go lower. Early adopters rarely pay market price.

You would think that would be true, but it's simply not.
At sprintpcs at least, once a phone's price is set it rarely ever changes.
the i330 never left $500, the i500/t600 has always been $600, the g1000 has always been $650, etc. The prices dont respond to market conditions, as they should... __________________
