I have Verizon, but I'm willing to bet the iPhone forever and sprint iPhone 2 year plan are pretty much the same thing.  I have done the 2 year plan the last 3 iPhones I've had, and once you pay half of it off you can trade it in for a new 2 year plan. The cycle continues. 

It's all interest free and you just pay monthly for what the phone costs.  Like I said I don't have Sprint but I would imagine its basically the same thing as what Verizon has.

What phone should I get, and where should I buy it? I finally cracked my screen after about a decade of mocking people with cracked screens, so I need to move on this ASAP. Some relevant notes:

-I've had an iPhone before and am not necessarily opposed to having one again, so do not attempt to "sell" me on it.
-I will probably have a device of my choice purchased for me within the next 1.5 years, so this brings those various lease-type arrangements into play.
-I am and will continue to be with Sprint ($30/month unlimited everything because I know a guy).
-Not necessarily opposed to purchasing from secondary markets.

Is this basically just a question of iPhonex v. Samsung Galaxy Sx? If not, what Android devices should I prefer over the GSx and why? Any other tips are appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

Most small shitty law firms for recent grads don't buy them phones it's more of a straight talk gig. Honestly I think even an iPhone 4 is too nice for what you would probably use it for.

My advice is search the straight talk cricket used market for a 2011ish phone.  That's more than likely what you'll probably get "bought" for you in 1.5 years so might as well get used to it.

How dare you type at me in such a manner. BTW, you're not going to bait me into divulging which Vault-10 firm I'm working for...

I'm not daring or baiting at all.  Honestly I'm just giving you a glimpse into the real world.  All this Webster talk you covfefe people think is against you and honestly it's not.

Harvard class gets all the top jobs.  Some degree from a Texas school after going to a school in KS isn't gonna land you a good gig.

You are getting an iPhone 4, MAYBE, so maybe just buy something nice now with the loan money because you will pay it back eventually.

Do you have any advice regarding my phone question, or not? JFC. These IT guys are the worst.

I was actually looking for some "Thanks" instead of being chastised but Hawk/Horn fans are all the same. Sad.

Speaking of cellphones, does the govt issue blackberries? I see a lot of them on House of Cards.

Excellent choice but I don't think it works on Sprint. I have G4 Plus on T-Mobile.
