Not to mention all non-big carriers don't even cover nationwide unless you get a contract with them, which then brings you back up to the $100/mo mark anyway.
I'll pay $100/mo for an iPhone than $20/mo for a Nokia 6010.

you're missing my point... I can see that $100/mo is the
de facto standard for anything useful, so you have no choice. Just saying those prices are frikken crazy - if I travelled to the US, I could add an option for 1G data and 3hrs talk for ?15/mo. Now god knows which network that would go on, but I'm with Orange, which in Europe is a major player, so their roaming I'm guessing peers with major players, so I'd expect pan-US coverage...
if so, I'd have unlimited European everything and 3 hr talk and 1GB data in the US for ?45/mo, which is still a shit lot less ($60/mo) than what you are paying...
How can your telcos rationalise that discrepancy?
