Note that "contract" in the US doesn't have quite the same implications
as "contract" in the UK. In the US you can cancel a contract any
time for a fixed fee; I think Cingular's is $175. US carriers are hence
unlikely to subsidise a phone by more than about $175 in any case which,
at the price of this phone, still leaves you with an expensive phone.
