Want an iphone as my droid is garbage, but being trapped in a 3g network that is quickly becoming outdated, seems foolish. Reminds me of the analog to digital transition a decade ago. Thoughts on this?

Verizon/Sprint? yea that would blow.
Oh I completely disagree. Verizon 4G coverage is in almost 200 markets now (including the regions where I spend 99% of my time) and it's crazy fast. I ping at ~50ms and get down speeds of 5+Mbps on a slow day. It's essentially as fast as my home broadband.4g isn't as close as all these commercials make it out to be.
2 years vs. 15 years? Are you kidding me?Perhaps the questions should be: why would anyone want a 2-year contract for a phone? I don't get that at all, it works out MUCH cheaper to just buy the phone up front and get a cheap calling plan (or go pre-paid - I do that, and it works out at <£30/$50 per year, including data). Plus you're not tied down at all, you can do whatever you like with your phone.
A 2-year contract is not far off getting a mortgage!

Datacap argument is odd and I don't see the applicability.I still think 3G is just fine. I don't know what I'd need 4G for at this point yet. When I stream content I think it's great. 4G isn't totally rolled out yet anyway. Plus with most carriers instilling datacaps, does 4G really matter? LOL... Luckily I'm still grandfathered into my unlimited data plan with AT&T and have the iPhone 4S.

On 3G. You browse and open a 500kb website might take 0.3s with latency. Uses 500kb of your datacap.
On 4G. You browsing and opening the same 500kb website might take 0.1s with latency. Still uses only 500kb of your datacap for you to read it.

In the US, there's no typically no difference in the monthly service whether on contract or not on contract. I understand this is different from service options in the EU.
