Verizon has lowered ALL PDA/Smartphones to 99.99 or below! 🤤 Touch Pro is 99.99 and you get to choose one select phone for free! Same with the Omnia, Touch Diamond.

Know what this means! TP2, Omnia 2, Diamond 2 VERY soon! 😁

The saga is the only phone that's still 199.99.

Is this price only with a new 2 yr contract?

Yes, otherwise each handset would run 499.99-699.99 depending on the handset. Cellular service providers subsidize the cost of the phones (i.e. they eat most of the cost of the phone) in order to get people to sign 2-yr contracts so that they can make a profit.

No other industry does this. With a landline, you have to buy your own phone, you don't get subsidized offers.
