Maybe I am a bit if a cynic but if a customer is OK purchasing a device after knowing there are 2 ETF fees involved then why is the government getting in the way of that?

I can see it now, some guy to ignorant to read the Terms of Service buys the Nexus One and then tries to sell it to a buddy for $100 more than he paid for it. Google then sends him a letter asking for the $350 he owes them and now the guy is upset he didn't read the T's & C's.

Everone should enjoy their contract priced phones while it lasts. At this rate, Phones will sell at "FULL RETAIL" and then , the customer will receive "DISCOUNTS" on their bill based on plans chosen and accounts being current.

I second that! End contracts!

One thing that doesn't maje sense to me is that the
-DOUBLE- ETF is !!ABOVE!! the full retail price. Isn't the point of ETF's is supposedly to recoup the cost of the subsidy?

The ETF is MORE then retail, far MORE then retail, if you terminate the total cost is $729! Please this is greed, plain and simple, closing in on extortion.

amazon does the same thing.

If you dont have the ETF on both with a 3rd party retailer someone gets screwed.

Its a common practice and makes sense when you break down the numbers.

The only people that should have an issue with this are scammers.

Its only an issue for 120 days folks. 4 months. get over it.
