Yeah, the retail prices are too high. Generally you are paying a 25%-33% premium for something that is arguably 5%-10% better (at least component wise). Refurbed, End of Lifed or used is definitely the way to go. The iPhone seems to be the exception, as the price is comparable to other smartphones.
