Can I do a one year contract instead?

[JohnJames]

Is there a discount at all for a one year contract? I know I can get a Droid Incredible at $270 for just one year. Hate to be tied down again for two years.

Yes, its $75 off

I was thinking about a 1 year contract myself, but if you look at the ETF schedule with Sprint, now that it is prorated, break even on the $75 off for 1 year vs ETF is at month 16. This way if you keep your phone for 1 year and 5 months it will be cheaper in the long run to pay ETF and if you bail afte 12 months you will only be out an extra $45. (It may even be a little less since you have to pay sales tax on the extra $75)

I am going to play the odds and go for a 2 year myself.
