I Cram to Understand

I'm not getting this.

I signed a new two year cell phone contract in September of last year. The cost to sign another new contract, just shy of a year later, is $439 with a Samsung Vibrant.

However a new contract gets the phone for $99.

Huh?

I can break the contract and get a Droid X for $439!

I am guessing that getting you to purchase a new phone and therefore require a new phone plan is marginally more profitable than hoping you will keep your old plan for your old phone. Our economy is very much based on buying shit that you don't need repeatedly. People getting satisfied with a product is quite dangerous; how many sales has Microsoft lost because XP became stable? Best to keep them upgrading.
