Which seems kind of ridiculous considering I've been with them in total for 2.5 years, (and 3.5 years prior I was using Pay as you Go) my monthly bill is usually between $80 and $120 and I've paid on time all the time (upgraded once though).

The 32 GB is. The 16 GB is $700 and the 8gb 3G is $600. You can go to an Apple store and buy a no-contract one or even get a new contract (and probably upgrade, too) with any of the carriers in the store. I almost did this until I realized $600 for a phone was insane.
Looks like I was wrong to be cynical about the 'lost in a bar' story. Ah, the wonders of booze...
