:if you dont like the system, dont buy into it in the first place. many companies now offer contract free plans..
and it you dont mind the idea of a contract, but rather the length, companies like tmobiles contract lengths are more like 1 year rather than two.
People can pay full price for the phone and not buy into a contract. But people are so into "free" phones or "cheap" ones, they will go 2 years and bitch all the way. So, to those people I say, pay 600 bucks for that treo and shut up.
