That is the question I am currently facing. The only upper hand I have on wireless carriers is that I only commit to them for 1-year at a time. You wouldn't know it by walking into a Verizon Wireless store - every ad or product details material points you to purchase a 2-year contract (they also promote the sale price, which includes several accessories, in the largest print), but I always read the fine print.

You can imagine my frustration and dismay when I learned that Apple and Verizon are not allowing customers to sign 1-year contracts. I don't think my HTC Incredible is worth a 2-year contact - but mobile technology production cycles are being updated every 6 months. How can a mobile geek, like myself, be stranded with 1.5 year old technology - oh the horror.

But seriously, is the iPhone 4 on Verizon worth a 2-year contract for me?

You can updgrade your phone within the two years, you just are locked into being with that company...

But considering I only sign 1-year contracts, it doesn't really apply.
