You are ONE of the big majority of carriers arround the world which subsidized phones. There just a few countries that ban bundling plans and handsets (Finland).
Absolutely Correct there Mr. Hesse! We are the ONLY country in the world that subsidize handset purchases in exchange for a contract. These handsets are VERY expensive and in some cases carriers would lose money if they sold handsets even at the "full" price (just check out online pricing of unlocked handsets for a reality check of their TRUE cost). Anywhere else in the world you would pay $600-800 USD with no carrier subsidy then buy your plan apart from your device.

Apparently Daniel Hesse's son plays a game called Runescape, and I'm currently talking to him as I type this comment, lol.
