I'd buy an old-school flip phone. With free wifi so readily available, I don't need 24/7 access to the internet. So being forced to pay for a data plan I don't need is a complete waste of the $562 I'd have to pay over the life of a two-year contract. I have better uses for that money than to donate it to some greedy carrier.

Example:

$199 -- tablet: Kindle Fire / Kobo Vox
$229 -- media player: Galaxy Player
$99 -- ereader: Kindle Touch
$35 -- MP3 player: Sansa Clip+

Grand Total = $562
