If motorola was smart they would price at a reasonable level so they could sell more of the product instead of high price and low level of people buying this phone. Seems to me if you to destroy your competition you have to undercut just a little bit to gain in the long run....just my idea

its not really up to motorola. I was told this is how it works:

motorola makes money by selling their phone to verizon (a very expensive price)

verizon turns around and sells it to us for less than what they paid for it (they actually lose money) and they make all their money plus more, on the plans...hence why you are trapped into a 1-2 yr agreement. this gaurentees their money back.

so, verizon can sell it for whatever they want...but they probably need to sell it for a certain % of what they paid for it.

this is how they both make money...or else, motorola wouldnt be making nearly as much money off the phones as verizon (or any other provider) is.
