The incentive to buy a phone without a contract is to own a phone without a contract and not be stuck with some conniving weasels for three years.
A few months ago I bought a phone outright for $500 from Rogers and went month-to-month. I definitely paid more upfront (and pay about 12 bucks more a month) but if I hate them, I pay my month's bill and walk away. If I sign a deal and hate them, I pay them $500 (the price of the phone) to walk away.
That extra $12 bucks is worth the peace of mind. I've done the math and I make $12 bucks in two hours at work. It's worth it for sure.
