What are people complaining about?
yea their lower NE2 prices, but if people do their homework before their complain they would maybe see the whole picture. Yea NE2 is gonna lower, but I have read several articles starting that verizon is planning to lower upgrade prices and give out larger mail-in rebates.. Most people have 9.99 addon lines on their account and they will finally be able to get descent prices with upgrading these lines since they dont get NE2 anyway. In the big picture there is going to be way more savings.
As far as test drive... that offer is rarely utilized by anyone and most people have no problem just paying the couple bucks that they used.

Alreadys, for most phones a huge chunk of the NE2-100 pricing is lost because it drops the price of the phone below 0.

Like I said, blame AT&T for underpricing the iPhone 3G so much. Everyone else has to drop their on contract selling prices to match, but the cost of the products didn't budge.

This is how stores stay afloat. They get the money they need, and you get a huge rebate you need, and in the end, you still got a high end device for a fiver.
