Some of the retail prices of the newer smartphones are very, very outrageous though. My smartphone, the Samsung Droid Charge retails for $569!!! That's a real lot of money!!! Why can't these things be less, like $399, $449, or $499.
$569 is way, way toooo much for a smartphone, even if it did have 32GB's of internal memory, $569 would still be too much.

Cost breakdowns are in the $200 to $300 range just to produce I believe for smartphones. Would be nice if retail was lower, but I doubt it will be anytime soon.
