Using an unbranded unlocked SGSII. All the carrier branded ones are irrelevant for me now.

Yes irrelevant even for me ... But there a lot folks who buy from carriers due to discounted prices on handset.

You cannot use unbranded devices on VZW. And if you want good service in the US you need VZW (I know, subjective to location, but it is a fact that VZW has the best spectrum almost everywhere).

I have been using unbranded devices for a long time on ATT but will switch to VZW when the QWERTY samsung comes out.

If you think about it though, if you have service for 2+ years and dont sign a contract you have just lost a lot of money. I should have bought an iphone, jailbroken it and sold it for at or above retail . Even if you end up leaving and paying etf you still break even or make $$ if the etf is prorated..

Im on AT&T like everyone else in this post.
Looks like GS2 made it here 1st

And if you travel outside the US at all, you want GSM/UMTS and that means AT&T.

That's not counting the few hybrid "world phones" that VZW carries, which the CDMA(LTE?) SGS2 won't be.

Very true. I have used AT&T phones (Iphone 3Gs and I897) in Korea, Japan, Haiti, Iraq, Kuwait, Germany, Ireland. Although it is quite expensive for international data/ voice, text is not too bad for a few messages until you can find a wifi connection.
Bricked my Captivate, so now running GS2 in Iraq with local sim. Data works with AT&T APN but too expensive. So for now only wifi connection. Found a great use for my Iphone.....Alarmclock!!
