For example, is there a comparable AT&T or Sprint plan? I often see a comparo of apples to apples for AT&T versus Sprint, but that’s tough to do without the details on the Droid plans.

You are right, $1831 isn’t a completely accurate reflection of the price of a Droid. But it is far more accurate than $199…

From the calculator at

I figure that $1632 [24 x (39 + 29)] over 24 months at $68/month, assuming an interest rate of 1% is worth about $1615 right now. In other words, if you put $1615 in an account earning 1% interest and took out $68 per month to pay your bill, it would last 24 months. So you would need (299-100) + 1615 = $1814 today. So you can take the extra $17 and buy a nice case for your Droid?
