But it's not a 200$ phone.

Its not?

Who the hell buys a phone off contract?

Yes, it's not. A huge chunk of the contract is to pay off the phone. Calculations like this make people get into crazy high depts because they onls think about the initial cost and forget about the huge tail.

While I technically agree with you, its a cellphone. The reason no one cares about contracts is because we know we'll always have one, therefore the contract price is the real price.
