We need to stand up to these cell phone companies or the prices will keep going up!  Prices were $199.99 for the top phones until Verizon started charging $249.99 for the HTC Thunderbolt, then $299.99 for the Droid Bionic.  Now Sprint has taken it to another level by upping the price to $349.99.  If we don't take a stand and let them know that is too much, they will just keep upping the price every year on all of the phones until we pay full retail!
