Go to church if you want to lecture people on their personal decisions -- let's keep this on topic.
I think the point that is being made is that is ridiculous to expect "Joe Phone" consumer to plop down ~$1,060 on a phone within a week ($530 for the original purchase and a a hold for another $530). This can be especially daunting if you got the $179 subsidized price -- you pay $179 and now they expect you pay $530. I completely understand why it's necessary though what I gather is at least the customer service could be a bit better as to why there is a hold when the phone isn't even remotely close to shipping (few days out?) and when the hold will be lifted.
