Ok, I currently have a G1 with T-mobile. I am looking to get out of this contract to switch to either a Evo or Droid X, but can't afford the $199.99 cancellation fee. I am currently able to renew my contract, so I was thinking of renewing and getting the Samsung Vibrant for $200 and selling it on Ebay. The amount I would make for this phone would not only pay my cancellation fee but also it would pay for my new phone. Is there anything in the T-mobile contract that would make me keep the phone for a certain amount of time before I could cancel? In other words if the phone sells tonight could I just cancel tomorrow, pay the $200, and be done with them or would I have to take back or pay back the phone?

If you get lucky as this seller: SAMSUNG VIBRANT GALAXY S 3G TMOBILE T-MOBILE BRAND NEW - eBay (item 130411837781 end time Jul-19-10 21:48:22 PDT)
Then you will have enough to pay off the ETF($200), phone($249 before $50 rebate), and however much your bill is going to be when you cancel. It will not be enough to buy a new phone.
You can cancel whenever you want.

OP, be certain this applies also to renewed contracts and not just new contracts. There could be a difference.

How long have you had your G1 and current t-mobile contract. You guys know the ETF is prorated right? it goes down from 200 as the months roll by. For example if you been with them 1yr 6 months, you might have to pay only 50 bucks, call and find out.
