The contract is used to make my work-related calls and has the same price whether you get phone on contract or not.
Fortunately my new phone works wonderfully as:
- an e-book reading device when I do not want to carry a 6" e-ink
- Tetris (and similar games) playing machine
- Android minitablet
- media mini-player
I was afraid I would have to get a cheap non-contract SIM card, but it works beautifully without SIM.

No offence, but that is not what the monkey meant by this thread. The phones that you can get on a contract plan are very expensive. Even the "free" phones are paid for by locking you (or your work) into the contract. If you buy a no-contract phone (e.g. a straighttalk) your choices are limited to really cheap and or older phones.
