I want to get the iPhone because my android sucks
As the title says, I have the android and I hate it. The battery is terrible, at the end of a 7 hour school day of me going on twitter and texting for one study hall it is at 4%. My high school graduation is on June 6th and I am having a party for graduating where I intend to get a macbook for college and an iPhone. I saw on the apple site that the regular 4, the one I want, is only 99 dollars but I don't know if that'd be before my Sprint switch over and everything because I'm not ready for an update just yet. My other phone was an android and I got another android before the iPhone came to Sprint, my dad has had his phone for about 4 years and he didn't intend to get a new one at the time so I used his upgrade. Well now, he is looking for a new phone and I would like to get the iPhone, as one number is only ready for an upgrade, I think that it'd make sense to give my dad my android because he would only use it for texting and he could just turn the data on internet off, and then I could get the iPhone4s for 200 on the Sprint site. However, if that fails, am I correct in seeing 99 dollars for it on the apple site? Or is that just the phone? Anybody who has done this or knows, please help me out. Thanks!

Maybe give some free advice about: Cell Phones?
Don't buy ANYTHING until you have read this. I want you to get the RIGHT phone. The phone you see advertised for $99.00 STAY AWAY FROM. It's the LAST model of the I Phone called a 4. It doesn't have any of the latest features, is not fast on the Internet at all and doesn't hold the amount of data or songs the new one has.
The I Phone 4S is the latest I Phone and comes is 16GB, 32GB and 64GB of storage. For a student like yourself the 16GB is perfect, you'll need a data plan for the Internet and there's enough space for 16GB for the majority of your I Pod library. It operates on a 4G network.
The 16GB I Phone 4S typically goes for $160 down. That's what you pay when you buy one in store, online etc with a cell provider. Then on top of this you have to pay monthly whatever amount your data plan is going to be.
Upgrades are a pain in the ass. Providers rope you in usually for three years and then tell you what you can and can't upgrade to after a period of time. It's damn near impossible for them to allow you to have an I Phone 4S without getting out of your current contract with a huge penalty. Your dad has to phone them and ask if you can upgrade or not.
If you are buying an I Phone 4S do it at an Apple Store or their web site. They'll set it all up for you with whichever provider in store Best Buy tends not to know much about Apple products and will sell you damn near anything as they're all on commission and Apple is not.
Also, while it hasn't been officially announced the I Phone 5 which was Steve Job's last project is rumored to be better than any version of the phone. Persistent rumors are out there about it being announced if not released before Christmas. Something to consider either way.
