You wanted an example of a price drop...

"Mobile phones tend to be more prone to price declines because the pace
of product introductions is faster than for televisions or DVD players.
Motorola, for instance, introduced the ultrathin Razr phone for $499
with a two-year service contract in early 2005. Six months later,
Motorola realized it had a hit on its hands and dropped the price to
$199 in an effort to aim at more mainstream buyers. By the end of 2005,
the price was $99."

So Motorola dropped the price of the Razr...

....in six months...

....but they dropped the price 60%...

....and before a year had passed, they'd dropped the price 80%.
