For tech savvy smartphone users, committing to a two-year contract is brutal. Mobile technology moves so fast that smartphones can seem outdated just months after they launch. There is a simple solution to this. Just choose a plan that doesn't contain a subsidized phone. It's cheaper which means you have money left for the phone you desire. Once that is outdated, just sell it on ebay or wherever and purchase a new phone. And so on. Of course, the new phone will cost more than you get for the old one, but you really can't have everything.
