Why is the Amazon price for this phone so high?

This isn't Amazon directly selling it for $330. It is a Amazon marketplace seller (Toyzz) listing it at $330, which is incredibly overpriced. This phone appears to be either discontinuing or production issues. Amazon hasn't had much stock whenever they list it directly. BTW, I have two of these phones and love them.

Idk u will have to ask the seller. But the one I bought from them wasn't a fully functional phone at all. They lied & I over paid for the phone. I also never heard back from them. I tried to get the money back for at least the parts. They're jerks & should b banned from Amazon for selling things.

Maybe I missed it, but I've never seen Amazon selling the tablet directly for over $499.99. It's still $499.99 right now, but ships in 1-3 weeks.

not this specific one because it's locked to Verizon. If unlocked phones are available they're probably more expensive. You can check for sure here:support@pagepluswireless.com:-)Shawn

I agree with Joe. What is the reason for Amazon to raise its price on 5800 Navigation from $249?

Umm Amazon price is not correct. $499 IS the MSRP so the supposed savings are non-existent

That's just the way Amazon works sometimes. Not everything makes sense. They may be very overstocked on the cheaper one.

I agree! Last week Metro PCS ran a special for $350.00! You would think Amazon would become competitive here!

The model at B&H; is the new version. The difference is only that it works with iPhones. There is no reason Amazon should be selling it for way over the recommended price. I imagine they are trying to 'encourage' people to clear their stock of the old model before they drop the price, which is REALLY annoying.

I just looked at it and the Amazon Prime price is $339. If you click the "New & Used" button you can buy from other sellers at different prices.

I noticed the same thing. The true answer is...because they can. Amazon probably noticed a trend in purchase and decided to raise the price, although, I can't say that for sure.

It's definitely expensive because it's through a prepaid carrier. I really like the phone. Pictures are really nice and sharp on this phone. It has great features, light weight, not to big, and a lot more memory then my last phone. I enjoy using this phone so much more, then any other android touch screen phone.

It's weird. Amazon had it for $45 yesterday (June 17, 2014; I bought one: it was less than the version without the case); today it's $80.

NO, it is a Boost Mobile/Sprint phone and it will take days to activate while they chase their internal tails confirming you didn't steal it from the previous month to month cash customer. Amazon should be ashamed for selling crap like this.

Usually when this happens on Amazon, it's because the usual sellers have sold out. Sellers then raise prices, sometime incidentally because prices are managed by computers algorithms. I don't believe this is an expected price for this.

Jessica, Absolutely Do Not Buy this Phone! or any other phone on Amazon unless it is Brand New! & Directly from the Cell Phone company. I have gotten Ripped Off Big Time here! I bought this exact phone & it is said "Excellent - Condition Used" What I got was a an EXCELLENT FAKE/COUNTERFEIT/STOLEN/BROKEN Phone (Thinking I won't say anything)- I have no idea how Amazon or eBay Let's SoonerSoft Electronics sell phones here especially since SoonerSoft has a RipoffReport.com Report! & BBB.org which says exactly what I am saying & they advertise they buy broken phones & even The Boxes to misrepresent the sell to unsuspecting customers Like you & Me. I returned the phone back to SoonerSoft, because they told me to send it to them so they can fix it & Once they recieved it, They Refused to send me back to me. (Probably so I have no Proof & they cannot be Prosecuted) & They Kept the Phone & Did Not Refund Me no matter what- I told Amazon about this & They do not want to do anything about this. I have so many customers emailing me about this phone, I wish I could save every customer customer, If I can I Will! P.S. I want to add here Amazon is a Fantastic Company & 99% of the Time I got wonderfull deals on here - This was the only time I ever got Ripped off here. Thank you so much!

I had received a email from Amazon Tuesday 8/23/11 advertising this TV for $598.00 at a whooping $11.00 savings, so I put it in my cart to purchase later this week. I was shocked to see today that the price jumped up this high (738.95) in one day! I did check with Sam's Club and they have them with free shipping for the $598.00 price. What is up with Amazon?
