It wouldn't be a terrible deal if they offered new models every month and they were truly upgrades. With the S4 and Razrs that are out now though I can't see anyone coming to market with something completely groundbreaking that'd make me want to upgrade in such a short time. Big battery, great camera and lots of memory with ample processing power and a very high resolution display. Not sure what other features I want or need.
I routinely see certain people who always want the newest phone out. My roommate does it, he had the s3 a year ago, then the note 2 when it came out, then the HTC one, now he has the s4. I rarely ever buy phones anymore unless it's for dirt cheap at work then I sell them later for a profit. I've been given free phones to use from LG, Nokia and Sony so I don't have to buy a phone to use, and I usually don't care about the latest thing out because I don't really do anything special with my phone and I don't believe the hype of always having the latest and greatest. Some people just think their lives will be better if they have this phone or that phone. It's so stupid, but it pays my bills.
I have no problem with a company taking advantage of people who are too lazy to do simple math. I put this in the same category as check cashing places and payday loans. More power to them.
These companies buy phones in bulk at a cheaper price and now T-mobile is charging full price for phones. Can't wait to until my contract ends.
Every company is making full price on their phones in one way or another. 70 bucks for unlimited everything for one line plus 20 a month for 24 months isn't a bad price, considering that's actual unlimited data that att and Verizon don't even offer anymore. And T-Mobile is all no contract now.
I don't remember the last time I bought a phone from Sprint. Granted, they still do the subsidizing game (for now), but I always buy my phones used, off craigslist and use them for a while.
Right now, I am on a iPhone 4s that I bought with a cracked screen, bad speakerbox and shot battery. Fixed it all and I don't have to be locked into a contract at all.

exactly...it's hard to tell from the screen shot but the fine print in these commercials say APR of 89% and 84 payments of $743 bucks.
