Is there a way to "test drive" a phone?

[Jimmy The Alpaca]

My contract is coming up soon and I would like to get a new phone. Currently I have a iPhone 5c,but I think I want to switch to android something like the Htc m8. I'm not sure if I will like the phone or the os (I've only used a iPhone). Is there any way to try out a m8 for a week or so without buying it?

I think Samsung had this coming for their phones.

It depends. if you're in Canada you can return a phone and cancel the contract at no cost within 15 days if you hate the phone.

it needs to be in perfect condition though

I'm not sure how it works in the states or elsewhere

Same things happens down here in Australia, but only if you're on a contract. You may also be able to see if the store will allow you to return it if you don't like it.

Australia has even better laws too. If your phone craps out before your contract is over they have to replace it IIRC

True. One of the few things I actually like about here.

I should move to Australia...but I live in the us here you are allowed to do that but our providers and sellers make it a pain in the ass to do so.to the point where it's almost impossible.
