Why are phones so cheap on amazon.com?
i really want the blackberry tour and i found one on amazon.com.

however, if i get the phone at a verizon wireless store, it costs around $200 but why does this one only cost $50?
is it because it is used? and could i still use it even though my phone hasnt expired yet?
Actually, if you bought it from the Verizon website, it would be $100 (with a 2 year contract).
Cell phones are almost always much less expensive at authorized retailers than at the carrier’s store and they’re always less expensive online. The authorized retailers are willing to accept little or nothing on the sale of the handset to entice people to buy from them. They make their money on a percentage of the plan.
