I asked this in another thread:

After buying a Torch via Amazon for
$99.99 six weeks ago, ...I can't help wondering about the economics, Amazon and/or RIM and/or ATT and/or otherwise, behind this now (!?) free-to-much cheaper offer of what seems to me as a truly awesome phone that must not be cheap to have produced? I do realize that competition with iPhone4 and android OS phones may have something to do with it, and that ATT may very well be making up the sum with its scale and the contract offer -- anyone have any additional insight as to this dumping, clearinghouse or ??? of the Torch onto the market?
