Leave it to Verizon to take something that has been going on with other carriers for years now & make it sound like a BIG deal..
Fact: Other carriers have allowed consumers to use their service w/out a contract. AT&T allows you to use your own phone or purchase one at no committment & their service with no contract. As does T-mobile. Verizon is making a deal about it now simply because they have never allowed the purchase of their equipment w/out an initial contract. Welcome to 2006 Verizon

yea.. just a little.. Verizon needs a reason to compete these days. With carriers releasing new devices, improving call quality & faster networks they HAVE to offer "new" ideas to keep customers. While I've never judged Verizon's service since I personally have never had an issue with them however with their terrible handling of UI (ever notice ALL of their phones look exactly the same on the screen), phone selection is finally looking up instead of adding colors to the chocolate line-up & now allowing consumers not to be stuck HAVING to buy a contract & a phone w/out a commitment.
While many will argue "well what about at&t and Apple forcing people into contracts" the only argument to that is the phone is part of an exclusive program between two companies both looking for profit. I agree at&t got the short end of the stick of that deal but expect other carriers to follow suit. Beginning today with T-mobile's exclusive G1 Google phone.
