Should I get the S3, S4, or wait?

I'm the type of person who likes to hold on to money to see how much I have left (i guess I like to keep my 'cake' to marvel at it). Anyways I have gotten tired of my old iphone 4 (it was my mom's so don't think i'm spoiled, i really am not.) and I have been interested in the Samsung Galaxy S's. The new Samsung Galaxy S4 is the most advanced thing i've seen/heard and I'm just anxious to get something with magical air gesture technology. However my family has decided to switch over to Straight talk once my mothers contract is over (her iphone 5) or sometime, and that means I'd have to buy the phone with out a contract which would make the s4 5-6 times more then it costs on contract. So my question is, should I wait like a good girl until I have the money or time (I just thought of selling my iphone and ipod, and raise money selling old items) or just wait for the heck of it and see the options, or should I get the s3. I have felt in my life content with everything I had, when I got my iphone but I want something advanced, and I'm scared I'll be the stupid materialistc ***, and I hate that. Or should I wait a tiny bit and get the S4? Or instead of using it for a whole 'nother year, boom the S5 comes, out. What should I do? Should I just wait till S5 comes out? Oh and if you find sale prices without contract online, could you send me the links? Thanks guys.

Added (1). I have read an article that talks about how S5 might be revouloutionary. What's the point of getting a phone that will be 'old' in the next -6-12 months? I don't know, If i do get it I hope I can be fully satisfied. I'm just worried about the extremely expensive price for the S4

IPhone got wet.what do I do?

Tried using lifeproof case yesterday, but my iphone got wet! It was working fine for about an hour after it got wet, so i thought it was fine. After that, the LED light turned on and I couldn't turn it off. THEN the screen turned completely blank. I put the iphone in rice, it's been 24 hours. The light has turned off and now it seems dead… What should I do?

I bought an iPhone, and the seller left his SIM card in it?

I think he left the SIM card in because it still says Verizon at the top left corner, and it is still picking up 3G here and there. He also didn't even restore it lol. So what should I do? I want to use this with my Verizon account! So if I take out the current SIM card, restore the phone, and bring it to Verizon, will they give me a new SIM card for my verizon account?

How to get carmel coloured highlights on brown hair?

I asked this question an hour ago but apparently nobody wanted to help me.So, I'm gunna try this again.

Here's what I want (I'm on my iPhone so I don't know if everyone can see the link)

If you can't see it, it's of Mila Kunis and it looks like she has brown hair with Carmel highlights starting in the middle down to the ends.

Right now, I have blonde hair on top and brown on bottom. So I know that I need to dye my hair all brown first (I'm gunna be doing a cool light brown cause that's my natural color) but I'm not sure how to get highlights like that. I've always done platinum highlights.

I don't really want them starting at my roots, I want them to look like that. Kinda the ombré style but highlights, not a solid color.

Can I activate my Verizon Iphone 5 on straight talk?

I'm currently under contract with Verizon. I have read that Verizon released unlocked Iphone 5 phones for international use. I'm asking if I can cancel my verizon plan and then activate my iphone with with a straight talk SIM card IN THE USA. Or is it limited to outside of the US and you have to be activated under verizon.
