Or you could just get a sim from Straight Talk or T-mobile and be free of contracts forever! Then just buy the Nexus 4 directly from google

Because Free! Plus T-Mobile is more expensive. You can do $70/m on AT&T (with sms only though Google Voice, etc).

What? T-Mobile is $30-60/month and Straight Talk is $45/month. The savings easily pays for the Nexus.

You're right, I should have been more specific. For my usage needs AT&T was less, if I use GV for sms (saving $20/m). Though the T-Mobile coverage is poor in the places I want it, so it wasn't one I considered anyway.
