Or in the US for that matter. (With a 2 year agreement.) Because they are SUBSIDIZED. The iPhone is NOT subsidized... because it doesn't HAVE to be. They're practically jumping off the shelves at $600. WHY would Apple and/or AT&T subsidize them as long as this is true? It's called supply and DEMAND.
