OK, this is off topic a bit, but reading all the comparisons you posted so far:

I'm starting to feel lucky not to live in the US. F**k, what prices are you guys happy with?

Here I get the cheapest 3G-phones (Nokia 6124 at the moment) for € 0,- and I don't even have to sign a new contract for this. It's just that they add bonus points to my account that will eventually translate into "You got a new phone for free - or a really good one very cheap" (usually every 12 months or so).
Nokia 6110 Navigator: GPS, 3G, S60, ... € 49,-

It really scares me to read what ppl pay for decent 3G phones elsewhere.
