I've bought phones outright before and depending on the contract it works out cheaper over the three years. If you're a person to use a lot of data, make lots of calls etc or you want a new phone every second year you are better off going that route. In any case, first thing I would do is complain to your current provider and threaten to quit, usually they'll put you through to retentions department and you'll get a much better deal. I pay ~$40/month with data now and it's worked out pretty good for me so far (but I'm stuck on another 3 year contract).

I am just on a regular pay-as-you-go, voice-only phone with Telus and thinking about upgrading, since the number of minutes I go through is starting to border on being better off in a contract with a decent phone.
I am not a data hog, and would really only browse substantially at home over wi-fi or some wi-fi hot spot. Basic other use would be email / messenger / get directions of some type stuff. The standard 500mb/month might be overkill then, unless there is lots of overhead involved in any of those activities outside of email attachments.
