It's nice to not be stuck to a particular provider, but you might also
want to consider that you are going to pay a premium to buy an unlicked
phone and then pay the same price for service that still includes the
phone subsidy.
In other words, you probably aren't going to change carriers, but if you
do, the $150 for the price of a droid with a contract + $250 to buy out
the contract will be about the same or less than if you just bought the
phone and went month to month.
I would just look for a phone that can be easily unlocked so that you
can take it to your next service without much problem.

I have decided I want to get a android phone and I've noticed that no
matter how hard I try I can't get straight answers from phone reps/store
reps for carriers.
What I want:
A smart phone running droid2.2 and a hardware keyboard on a month to
month service plan.
I'm more than happy to pay full price for a phone but it is
inconceivable to me that I should obligate myself to a provider. Seems
like the contract only serves them. So I will pay the money for the
right phone but I'm having trouble finding a good carrier.
I talked with a store rep at verizon (spectrum mall) and he says he can
activate it and it will cost me around 108 a month for a month to month
plan 900 minutes 10c per text.
Is that the best deal I can hope to find?
I cannot handle talking with these salesman anymore. They are worse than
car salesman. Any help appreciated. If I can't find a good deal I'm
going prepaid or something.
