If you did want hardware, there are phone-modem-free devices out there
(tablets like the Nexus 7 or iPad, or smaller devices like the iPod
Touch) that would prevent you from getting contract lock-in.

If you do want a phone, I'd only consider an Apple or Google 1st party
device.  No other devices are likely to get updates in a timely
manner, and both of these can be purchased unlocked for GSM/HSPA+
networks.
