Needless to say, you have to watch your talk & text usage more carefully. I bought my phone from Amazon for $150 and added $100 credit which expires in 1 year (lower denominations expire in 30~90 days).

If you don't need cellphone service, though, just buy an unlocked Android smartphone. You'll find much better models.
Thanks; I'll have to check it out. I need the following features, otherwise there's no need to switch from my iPod touch:
  • 1 GHz CPU / 512 MB RAM
  • dual cams - front (VGA) / rear (3MP AF w/ flash)
  • GPS / compass
  • Android 2.3
  • iPod touch pricing
