True, if you're comparing 'an Android phone' to an iPhone, the Android phones are cheaper. For phones of similar capabilities, they're more expensive. As you have to pay $70 a month minimum for two years to get one of these phones, though, I don't see that $80 for the phone is very different than $180.

That only happens in the USA and Canada. Maybe that happens a bit in other countries, but really, not much. No more than 10% of the world buys phones like that. The USA is not a model for the rest of the world in the mobile space; they're quite backwards actually.
Android phones sell for $200 without a contract in most countries.
