Are you kidding me? Cricket? I absolutely suggest going with Cricket if you don't want to be able to use your phone in 80% of the country and if you want to be able to talk to the 5 other people in your city that have Cricket. Unlimited minutes, long distance and roaming anywhere in the US including Alaska and Hawaii is a hell of a lot better than not being able to go outside the county I live in. If you are that worried about credit checks then maybe you shouldn't have a cell phone.
FYI: New every two has always been only for the primary line. The secondary lines qualify for promo pricing but have never been given the extra discount.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
