Maybe because price is decided by traditions and what people are willing to pay?

We in Europe normally have to pay 1.5-2 times the price in the US. So from our perspective you are complaining about a price that still is lower than what we have to pay for phones.

I paid $630 for my unlocked Nexus 4 for example. And that was on the cheapre side for high-end phones. Over $800 is not uncommon.
