I've been kind of curious lately, about how you people of RootzWiki acquire new phones. I have always done everything through Verizon. I guess until I got my first Android phone, which I got the OG Droid through my grandfather who didn't know how to use it, so he switched to the iPhone. *gag* (He also threw an Eris at the wall when it froze because he thought he broke it). Anyways, I now have my Droid X and I'm loving it running MIUI. But I've been really interested in all the news about the new phones coming out, i.e. the HTC Vigor, Bionic, etc.. I have another year on my contract but I figure, I could use a backup phone, right? But i really don't want to go through Verizon. 2 year contracts suck...

My question is, do you all:

• Get a new phone when your contract is up?
• Buy them for retail price? (Whether it's from Verizon, Amazon, Newegg, etc.)
• Buy them off Ebay, or similar sites?
• Bargain shop? (Not sure how, but I'm sure there is a way)

Thanks in advance for the input! :tongue3:

I usually renew my contract, get a cheap phone(because I don't have a data plan), and sell it on Craig's. Though if its a good cheap phone, I keep it as a spare. I really don't have a job so consistently keeping up with all the phone releases aren't an option. Though I usually get it through Craig's at the best price I can find. Also, I never pay retail price, for any device.(that is until I can get a job, and even then ill search off Craig's first.)
