I hate that when your contract is up and you want a new phone you have to re-up for another two year gig or else pay retail. This is becoming a show stopper for me.
 
Yes and no...

My family and I have been Verizon subscribers for nearly 5 years with very few complaints, and we find their service to be quite good.

But I definitely agree with snaker - technology moves far too quickly to only be given a new phone every two years.
 
The reason why you have to get a new contract is because they take a loss on the phones they give you when its discounted to two year pricing. Else Verizon would lose big bucks by selling a $200-500 at a deep discount and then someone decide to cancel service. They wouldn't recoup thier money. THink about it if it was your business. IF youa re going to gave somene 200 dollars don't you want a contract to make sure they dont screw you?






I agree to this point as well, one thing you can do is buy ones with 1 year pricing. It is about 70$ more than the 2 year pricing and would give you the ability to upgrade every year.
 
What I would really like to see is discounted pricing for those that have finished their contracts. I say this because the price of the phone is built into the contract so Verizon makes the money back on the discounted phone. But if you keep the phone another year you are paying for a new phone without actually having one.

I guess another way to do this would be for every year past your contract knock another $100 off the price of a new phone.

As far as those saying they need a new phone more often you really don't you want a new phone more often but it is not a requirement and you can pay full price then.
