Pricing direct from a carrier is a totally different ball game than through a third party; Amazon has offered astounding deals on carrier-locked handsets for years, but if you look at the bigger perspective from a business and an industry angle, seeing Verizon offer these devices at these prices is a bellwether for the way we can expect consumer-grade smartphones to be priced and marketed in the future.

And are you implying that Verizon isn't going to honor these rebates? That's absurd -- it'd open them to a ton of legal liability. Doesn't matter who handles the rebate on Verizon's behalf, Verizon is ultimately responsible for making sure they go through.

Tone down your language.
