This week at Content Quake we will be looking at alternatives to the standard of getting new cell phones directly through your cellphone provider.

Ultimately it costs about $1000 for a wireless company to get you to sign the initial contract on the dated line, so these companies have a lot of leeway in how much they will give you to stay as their customer. If you are not on a contract you are in the perfect position to get yourself a free or highly discounted phone, of course you will have to sign yet another contract to get anything like this. Sometimes its in your best interest to keep your options open and purchase a phone outside the system of contracts (see iPhone).

First up is a virtual do all phone from Hewlett Packard, the HP Ipaq 510 Voice Messenger Quad band GSM, WiFi (allowing Skype) and Windows Mobile 6.0 which allows for a huge amount of programs and flexibility. But most important this phone can be had for $319.99 right now, no contracts and hassle with warranties and who actually owns your phone.
