That's the glass is half empty view.
The other view is your're saving money by being given an interest-free loan to purchase the phone.

But isn't it the same with a two-year subsidized phone plan? You pay a little up front, and a little extra each month. Again, kudos to T-Mobile for making the costs transparent, but I don't see how it is substantially different.
Well, after the two years, you're T-Mobile bill goes down by ~$20/line a month while your bill on the other carriers stay the same.
This assumes, of course, that you don't buy a new phone and start the process all over again.
