Really?

The single item price does seem pretty high, but the per-item price for group buys doesn't seem out of line with other phones, at least not by US pricing.

Mind you, most people in the US have no idea what they're actually paying for their phones as most cell plans are set up to keep you from every knowing that.

greetings, eMBee.
