The reason is that besides Motorola most companies manufacture their phones in Asia... Also, if you are with a CDMA network (Verizon, Sprint, Alltel, etc) it takes longer to get nice phones because they must be made to work with CDMA networks. VERY few nice phones are actually made for CDMA networks first! Hope this helps to explain why we get boned out of nice phones most of the time. Oh, and also because everywhere else in the world people buy phones at retail with NO CONTRACTS and just pay for minutes... that changes things a bit as well.

there's steps in congress and lobbyists TRYING to get rid of contracts, but the problem is there are too many lobbyists for the cell companies.

NOTE, however, just about every carrier has started presenting prepaid plans. AT&T, Alltel, T-Mobile. I'm not entirely sure about Verizon or Sprint. Hopefully we're headed towards a future of no contracts and retail value for phones. (Maybe THAT will make people take better care of them.)

This is the truth. American companies provide heavily discounted phones in exchange for locking customers into a contract. They wouldn't move enough to make it worthwhile.
