They never earn money on handing out a phone, they make money on the service...but they got special contracts with google for the nexus one. They will not market it because they don't need to. The nexus one is an experiment from google nothing else.

This is why you end up paying 2 ETFs.. theoretically you shouldn't be paying the Carrier ETF because carrier gave nothing (you still end up paying it though cause carriers are jerks)

Don't give in just yet...if you want to pick wait 1 more month if you can hold out ..Verizon said spring right? so if its end of April you'd still be 30 days in may to swap if you end up not liking the droid...but its up to you

David,

If you want to get out of contract with Verizon legally, you can try to find someone to take over your line by way of a TOL (Transfer of Liability). This is what I did to get out of my Sprint contract that still had 10 months on it.

I used the site called Cellswapper.com and posted my plan details. Found someone the next day to take over my plan. Cellswapper will match you to someone interested in taking over, but then will expect you to pay to complete the transaction. By that time however, you should be able to get the interested parties email and finish the TOL by calling Verizon and initiating it through them. It's a very simple process from there, and you'll be released from your contract.

One thing to keep in mind, since the contract is still in effect, you'll lose your phone number. You can't port it since that will end your service and you'll be subject to an ETF. But, a number change is worth $175 in your pocket, I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure that the phone number counts as a separate line, while still being part of the family plan. I was in the same scenario a while back and we were able to just transfer over the one number as its own line. As long as there are two other lines (your mom's number and your dad's number) the plan should stay the same, just minus one line.

Call Verizon and see how they would do it.
