If you want a phone, you have a couple of choices: 1. Buy a dev phone for $399 plus the developer fee of $25. 2. Sign up for one of those expensive plans and get a phone for $199 or whatever. 3. Buy one off eBay and hope you get one that works for a reasonable price. 4. Is there another option?
The phones sold by the telco's are subsidized by the contract. You'll pay less up front but that $199 phone will end up costing you $2500. You could also get a phone from a telco, sign up for the plan, keep the thing a month and break the contract. That will run you $175 for T- Mobile or $375 for Verizon. It's questionable if the Droid from Verizon will work at all without a plan. Haven't heard absolutely that it will, so I would be careful about doing that. -John Coryat -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
