WHOA....Thunderbolt price drop to $129!

Sure, but why even buy a new phone in the first place if you're gonna cancel within 6 months?

It makes no sense to pay $125 now because of the unlikely possiblity of having to repay that later.

Deal is great.

It depends whether you want to be locked into a contract or not. Some prefer to pay full price and stay month to month or like I've typically done in the past, choose only a 1 year contract instead of the standard 2. The initial phone cost is a little more, but you're not locked into a long contract. It's more about keeping some freedom of choice, keeping your options open and minimizing early termination fee issues. In that case, would you want an extra contract through a third party, just to save some money up front? I certainly don't. But everyone has to do what is most comfortable for and matches their needs.
