If you look at link above me, the last word is the post is the part where the blogger calls the bluff, its just pure sloppiness. A basic candy phone has a minimum cost including packaging of somewhere around $30, I have my sources also, this would be for a minimum 100k order, this is definitely only workable at carrier level with subsidies as you point out.
