Anyone had different experience canceling their contract? The REP made it real clear that it is not physically possible to cancel the contract mid-cycle.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Yes,
I had a similar problem...I would do anything to get out from under Nextel.
If you cancel mid month (IE: lost phone), the old phone will be a brick.
In the end with Nextel, I paid $600 to get out, gladly.
