Discount is only for monthly payments so did that. April 21st.

Could always cancel this order if other stores have better offers.

I'm sorry, but in 3 years to still be offering less MAh is just pathetic.

I've had literally no reason to upgrade my phone.


new phones have better cameras ;D

True. But I'd rather take pictures with my A6000 anyway.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Personally for what I do with my phone I'm good with 4GB. If the software works well 4GB is enough IME. If it doesn't, 6 GB won't help much.

Saw this reported online. This is under the specs for the s8.
All this reads in my books is "your phone can have an awesome screen, but you will have no battery left..."

*Default resolution is Full HD+ and can be changed to Quad HD+(WQHD+) in Settings.

What's up with Sprint Contracts? Best Buy says that they don't offer 2 year upgrades anymore? How recent is that? Does any other store or Sprint themselves still offer it? I'm grandfathered on a old plan.

AFAIK, they got rid of them a while ago UNLESS you were grandfathered in. Then more recently they seem to have done away completely with them.  Check your Sprint.com account as a lot of grandfathered in customers are still receiving a monthly discount off installment billing but you will have to order directly from Sprint I believe.

That's bad news for them. Why would someone stay with them on a more expensive plan if they don't offer that.. I can't find any news article about this. Besides from a year ago, when they stopped it, and then a few months later, backtracked.

You still are getting a discount at this point IME and if you're grandfathered into a good plan it may still be worth it. I suppose it depends on your current plan.

Do any stores have display models in stock? I want to see if the plus fits in my hand...

I don't think so but there are sites where you can do a print out. Though it's not the same thing when you factor in weight, and thickness.
Also sites like phonearena will show you phone comparisons if there is a large phone you know works for you.
