I personaly dont understand, why u all look for "carrier" phones with monthly payment...
Isnt there any "local" internet shops (similar to ebay/amazon) where you can buy? Here there is planty of them! Choose the one u like or the price u like and go ahead!
You can see some of search results here "http://www.salidzini.lv/search.php?q=htc+one" But ofc, these shops dont send outside Latvia, so its not option for thread author
Orange deal sounds good but went with them for one year a while ago and hated it.

It works out "for me at least" about £550 odd for a free phone, unlimited texts, loads of minutes and data over
2 years. So paying £400 up front for a phone on its own with none of that makes no sense at all to me I'm afraid.

I see then...
Phones at carriers used to be cheaper! I got my Tattoo for 100 total (only its price) while in shop it was about 180.
But it was 2 years ago, and the Tattoo already was exception for the price.
Now, for example, galaxy S2 in internet shop costs ~300 while at carrier they ask to pay 15 each month for a phone only + the services u use. so that makes 24*15=360 only for phone... This is same for all carriers, only if you arent "VIP" client, these have different conditions.
I still don't know how my wife managed to get this, but she's managed to get an amazing retention deal with Orange for the One S.
600 minutes, 600 texts, 500Mb data, 30 picture messages for £13.98/month for 2 years and £60 for the phone itself!
I can't get anywhere near this deal with T-Mobile retentions!
Most of the chat seems to revolve around deals on contract.
I have a sim only deal and always buy the handset outright.
Bet price I saw advertised was @£430. I went in to Phones4u to have a play with both the One S and One X and they were quoting me £489 for the One S.
I told the guy that Amazon were doing it for £430 and he offered me "his staff discount for friends" which came out at £383.
At that price it was too good to turn down!
