buying a phone outright, unlocked... without a protection plan (in Canada)

I'm leaning heavily towards purchasing it outright, unlocked, from Wind.

No protection plan, but then I'm thinking that I can always get things fixed if they break (screen, etc.). Thoughts?

I am concerned that Bell Canada only will give me $10/month credit if I bring my own phone -- it works out to $240 savings versus the $500 to $550 I would get off the cost of the phone if I did their 2 year deal -- where essentially I'm losing up to $300, but I'm pretty sick of playing this game with Bell (it would be the same with Rogers or Telus.) Thoughts?

Note that I've done my research, and if I want a V20 anytime soon in Canada I'll have to go this route.
