In my part of the north pole, we the monthly prices differ depending on if you're subsidising a phone through them or not. So bringing a calculator when looking at phones and plans are always a good idea to see if you're getting a good deal or not :) I've saved money both on buying a phone subsidised and later on buying one unlocked.
And yet they're selling like hot cakes. I know so many people who say "I'd take a lot more photos, but I just can't be bothered to bring my DSLR with me a lot." And these are the same people that are not happy with the quality of compacts.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
