You can check r/Sprint for questions.. Full of info with 2 or 3 threads about the I phone x.

Thanks trying to figure out why Sprint is charging a 150 upfront fee with the x 256 gb on Sprint flex. You can go to Best Buy and buy the same phone with no down payment through Sprint flex and just get a higher monthly fee. Based on a 12 month cycle with the down payment you would pay $54.16 at Sprint but only $47.85 through Best Buy. Don’t really have a problem with Best Buy but a lot of former employees have said their pre-order supply is usually crap.

If the $150.00 is a problem then you probably shouldn't be buying a 1200 phone.

If you are going to pay someone more money for the exact same item than you are a poor financial manager and an idiot. Companies pray on the weak to not notice these pricing inconsistencies unfortunately for them i'm smarter than they are.

Not if you upgrade after 12 months. Just like a car lease you never put money down. A down payment cost you more for the first year if you don’t carry the phone to term.

You're still spending over $1,000 for a phone. You have no room to question the financial management of others.

I'll never understand this position. "You're paying $1,000 for a phone, so you shouldn't complain about paying $150 more". Uh, yeah, it's still $150 no matter how much you're paying for the phone or anything else.

I use my phone all day for work. Having a great phone that I use 15 hours a day is no different than a carpenter having nice tools or a software engineer having a good computer. I understand many people can’t comprehemd the logic. Not everyone buying an expensive phone use it all day to watch Netflix.

Lol these are the people that walk into a car dealership and pay sticker price. Just because you can afford something dosent mean you have to be a sucker.

Pretty much.

I've noticed how my Nexus has slowed down significantly as of late. It used to be smooth when it first came out.

Today, it struggles to open the keyboard at times. Those little seconds of wait while an app loads or bogs down really add up when you're trying to do something urgently. Even waiting for the dialer to load takes an eternity when you're trying to call someone as fast as possible.
