| said by Z80:To these carriers, sales/margins is all that matters. Not exactly. They could really care less how any particular phone sells. Phone sales profits are hampered by subsidies that the carriers offer. They don't see a profit on that handset til 2 years down the road. The handset maker gets that profit immediately. Carriers just want more customers paying for service agreements.
