How much is an iPhone without upgrade?

So I just found out that I'm not eligible for an upgrade until Dec 15 and I was quite disappointed as I planned to buy myself an iPhone this summer. A) How much would it cost with no upgrade? B) if I bought the iphone online instead and had it activated elsewhere would it be cheaper? I currently have a Blackberry Curve with Verizon. Any help is appreciated.

If you wanted to buy it unlocked, it would be somewhere in the range of $500.

If Yiu really want an iPhone, you can pay off the rest of your contract you have now and open a new one and get a new phone. There may be a few other additional fees too which tbh isn't worth it.iPhone's are expensive brand new especially the iPhone 4s which is what, about £500? I'd just wait till December so you don't have to waste a load of money…
