But I have to say, this thread gets more and more interesting. The Archos stuff looks like a real possibility for me.
I would suggest: Save up for the device, then buy it. This way you can avoid debt!

But I agree, subsidy sucks. It implies far higher spending in the long run.

Out of curiosity: is there prepaid data in the US? I know that many countries, including Canada, have this service, which I think is a wonderful compliment to a device like the Tab (use data only when you need it, WiFi when you don't).

Having a plan specifically for this device would be too expensive (for me) to consider rationally.
