Might want to take a look at this one: https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_5_16GB_Black?id=nexus_5_black_16gb&hl=en
I've got the Nexus 5, and it's a fuckin' brilliant phone for $350 off contract, and has some of the same specs as some high-end Samsung or HTC phones. I don't think it's on Verizon at the moment, though.
