It is because the lte radio is much more expensive than normal radios. not to mention the iphone 32 gb is 299 and that is all you get 32 gb these phones you get a 32 gb card plus much more internal storage yet nobody complains about those prices. The prices will start to come down early next year when the radios are more widely produced.

Bionic is 150 on Amazon today. Vigor will do the same thing shortly after launch.
That is just for new customers.

Yeah I know but just showing that the price is falling 2 weeks after launch for a phone that many are giving great reviews. I expect others to follow suit and subsequent phones to follow same pattern. After all, it is/was a high price point.
Prime going to have delays or limited stock? WIll this influence your decision any if it is the case? How does the delay of the 1.5 GHz OMAP4 affect the Nexus Prime launch? | Android and Me

I'm so tempted to go to Verizon for this. I want that HD screen, Beats and supposed 48GB (32SD+16 inside).
This will be the first phone in awhile actually worth upgrading to. I dont really care about the prime i still think it is going to be larger overall than current phones even if the screen has no buttons. Vigor is looking better everyday.
My last samsung was the omnia..... it will continue to be my last samsung phone... Not gonna have anything to do with the prime..... I do believe this is the phone for me
I agree it is looking like the vigor will be a great phone. And if rumors are true that it is beter than the prime i wont feel bad getting it and passing on a samsung. then again samsung in the us has a poor track record.
JUST got back from my local Radio Shack. Was checking some phones out there and got to talking with them about the HTC Vigor. Asked if they knew anything about it,they said no. So they checked their system and it popped up the Vigor as the Incredible HD with a release date of October 20th. This was on their system,not a leaked anything. So there ya go,folks. About as official as anything I've seen or heard...right off RS system!!
