Three year mobile contracts & getting out of them with Celltradeusa.com

Link: Regretting that three-year contact? Trade it away – Engadget Mobile.

Caught this one on Engadget…

We’ve all done it. The temptation of that latest-and-greatest smartphone being offered by (Verizon / Sprint / T-Mobile / Cingular) is just too great; we cave, signing our life away for one, two, or (gulp) three years in exchange for a killer price

THREE years? All of a sudden before I knew it, every operator in the UK had started offering 18 month contracts… but THREE YEARS? Er, no thank you!

The engadget story is actually about Celltradeusa, a service which matches people wanting to trade their phone contracts.
