199 on contract for a Galaxy Nexus is a ripoff? LOL
Yes it is.

What cable are you using to do that?
My GF has a Nexus One, so my guess we will switch to a family plan on T-Mobile. Neither us is/will be on contract.
We will probably go with the 1000 Minutes + Unlimited Text + "Unlimited" Data plan for $120/month.
I currently pay around $55/month and she around $105/month, so this family plan would represent some savings.
Comments?
So does this work with that $30 tmobile/walmart plan? If so, that would be awesome.
Straight Talk for $45 a month is cheaper. You just won't get unlimited data with Straight Talk. But if you use 2gb or less a month, Straight Talk is a better deal.
I've even been tempted to do the $30 Tmobile data plan /w groove IP as Tmobiles data speeds are pretty good and I heard people have had good luck with that.

do they sell the verizon version for that price too?
399 unlocked + straight talk would save a ton of money over a $49 on contract purchase.
I think I'm going to jump on this. How can I keep the same phone number switching from verizon to the t-mobile/walmart prepaid plan?
It boggles me that people still think chaining yourself to a contract and paying hundreds more a year is a good deal nowadays.
I've never understood this argument... how are you paying more? You need the plan anyway, so that isn't it. You need data anyway, so that isn't it. The only downside to it is you're stuck on that carrier. I'm not one to switch carriers often though, so I might as well get a discounted phone if I'm getting the exact same thing either way. Right?

You can save money by buying a phone outright and going prepaid
Monthly Service * 24 (two year contract) + phone price / 24 = Monthly amount over two years
AT&T - 89.99 * 24 + 199 / 24 = 98.28 a month
Sprint - 69.99 * 24 + 199 / 24 = 78.28 a month
T-Mobile - 79.99 * 24 + 199 / 24 = 88.28 a month
Verizon - 89.99 * 24 + 199 / 24 = 98.28 a month
Straight Talk - 50 * 24 + 400 / 24 = 61.67 a month
My main problem with Straight Talk is their super ambiguous data policy. A lot of months I use under 2GB. But some months I go over. WAY over. I don't want to lose the phone number I've had for 10 years.
Thats why I'm gonna port to Google voice. Worst case IF they cut you go to tmobile prepaid phone for a little bit more.
This is a great case, I have one:
