If you want to compare it to a car it would be like LEASING a car not flat out buying a car.
This day and age it amazes me the number of people who will sign a contract and just don't think they should honor it....that goes for both parties of the contract.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to get the reduced price on the phone you have to sign a two-year contract. So you are already agreeing to use their service or pay a cancellation fee. Now if you do chose to pay the fee or another company buys out your contract you don't have to give the phone back, so I don't think they should tell you what to do with your property. They should actually make the phone a lease if they want to restrict your actions.
