$199? This must be one of those marketing ploys where they set the price artificially high, so that when they announce it at $99, or lower it soon after launch, people think they're getting a deal.
Or maybe TMobile's buyers are completely stupid, and pay way too much for low and mid level phones.
Something tells me that there is a camp over at TMo that wants to get some higher end gear going on, by the suits up top think that something like this is a "toe in the water" to see if they'll sell new business. Certainly a half-assed approach that is doomed to be a self-fulfilling prophecy and a failed result.
