I understand what the OP is trying to say. And I have a solution for you sir....

Buy the phone full price on a credit card. Pay it off in however long you want...granted you will be charged some intertest.

Either way, you get your phone. You don't have to sign a contract. And you can pay for it throughout your "contract term". You are just paying e credit card company not the wireless carrier.
