Great timing....

With the Droid right around the corner I would imagine that is why they did this. ETF's should be going down, not up.

Agreed. Charge $599 for the phone and no ETF.

wasn't there serious legal battles surrounding ETF's, if I recall correctly?

meanwhile, that droid is in no way worth 350$, it's like a $175 actual retail value phone. The new processor actually is cheaper to make than the old one, not more expensive. This is like switching something that costs you $10 for something that costs you $5, but charging $20.

What does that accomplish? It essentially charges the ETF up front and raises the total price that most people would end up paying over the life of the phone.

The bitch here is that most posters don't want to be tied to a contract. So if they pay full price up front they are free to leave whenever they want.
