I still have a Palm 700P that works with Verizon. About 6 months ago
I walked into a Verizon store and started a temp plan to test coverge
in my area. Although it's a smart phone I started service without a contract
and without a data plan and I could have kept that plan.

Of course they tried with the 2 year contract offer but my argument
was simple: Verizon isn't subsidizing my phone. I own my phone.
So theres no reason for a 2 year contract.
