Wow, I have bought iPhones unlocked as device only in the past as well, so far I have an iPhone 5 32 GB white, that I paid off via tmobile and it is fully unlocked and is prestige condition. I have my eye on the space gray 5S, not because of the fingerprint sensor, but b/c if the M7 motion sensor processor I keep reading it can do so many things with motion sensor apps to include a glorified pedometer.
 
I did, almost a month ago at the launch day in my region: 800 EUR

I got to the Apple store 14th Street at 5am and waited in live for 4 hours. :p But all that waiting did get me a gold 64GB Verizon 5s. So in my mind it was worth it.

Can you buy a Verizon phone without signing a contract with verizon? Or did you have to activate a line with Verizon and then cancel it to pay ETF?

You can buy a Verizon iPhone full price "device only" from an Apple Retail store.
 
Gave my wife my 4s and traded in her 4 for a Verizon 64GB 5S space gray from bestbuy sept 22nd for $759, no contract, using on AT&T grandfathered unlimited plan
 
I paid full price, sold my iPhone 5 for $370. Only way to keep my VZW data, I tend to easily use 10GB a month so that's my reason lol

Work in technology so always have an itch for latest/greatest.

Worth it to me for touchID, I'm in and out of my phone so often it really does save me hassle/time, more than I thought. The camera is a decent upgrade and feels snappier than the 5 did IMO
