If you look at the Amazon.com page it says:

Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G Android Phone (Sprint)
List Price: $599.99
Price From: $79.99 (Price varies based on service type)
You Save: $520.00 (86%)

Amazon's pricing structure:

List Prices
Except where noted otherwise, the List Price displayed for products on our website represents the full retail price listed on the product itself, suggested by the manufacturer or supplier, or estimated in accordance with standard industry practice. The List Price is a comparative price estimate and may or may not represent the prevailing price in every area on any particular day. For certain items that are offered as a set, the List Price may represent "open-stock" prices, which means the aggregate of the manufacturer's estimated or suggested retail price for each of the items included in the set. Where an item is offered for sale by one of our merchants, the List Price may be provided by the merchant.

1. It seems the (inflated) list price is supplied by the merchant.
2. Also, I think this is the minimum price if you get a contract:

Price From: $79.99 (Price varies based on service type)

3. See:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?q_sku=sku5190290#fbid=0Cgnke3SbTo

No Commitment Pricing $449.99
2-yr Contract Price $99.99
Online Discount - $50.00
Total Due at Time of Shipping $49.99
You Save $400.00

The 'No Commitment Pricing' is if there is no 2 year contract:

You may purchase a new AT&T phone without a contract at the no-commitment price. This non-discounted equipment purchase option does not require a two-year contract or other long-term service commitment...
