in europe, you buy the phone and pay as you go. in the US, you sign a contract with the carrier for 1-2 years, get the phone at a very cheap price, pay various monthly fees and the per minute rates for call time and you are locked in to that carrier for the term of the contract. another one of many reasons US mobile companies have fucked themselves into a corner. tell the average american to pay 750.00 for that new, cool "must have phone" and they will never believe they even cost that much.
