What you need to decide beforehand is how much you're willing to spend and what your minimum hardware requirements are. Currently, I know of no great deals. The best deals happened during Black Friday. Since then, a few good deals have popped up; but there's no way to predict when that'll happen. You have to check back each day to see if anyone has posted a deal; and then you have to be prepared to jump on it right away if it's what you want.

Thanks!
I'm looking at 2 phones right now, my main concern is can I use them without a contract as wifi only devices:
This one looks nicest

Edit: I take it there is a way to skip the prompt by the carrier?
