I'm confused. Is $649 (32 GB) the "full retail" price?

Just got off the phone with Apple and the FULL prices are:

$649 for 16GB
$749 for 32GB
$849 for 64GB

$849 for 64GB X .0975 = $82.78 + $499 = $581.78 OUT THE DOOR!!! (In California San Francisco Bay Area)

You also use these $ amounts to multiply your TAX, then add that tax amount to your discounted $ amount and that's what your iPhone 4S will cost "out-the-door!"

Where I live we are taxed on the FULL retail price of the phone, not the discounted, subsidized price. So for the iPhone I want, I would be paying close to $85 tax.
edit: You beat me to it with the math

Do a cost calculation and see if it's cheaper for you to take a road trip to Oregon. No sales tax there.

lol @ the full retail price.

Ditto. $849 for a 64GB PHONE? Ridiculous.
