I purchased an S4 (TMobile branded and new) at a good price with free shipping (and no sales tax) from B&H Photo-Video. Still would like to hear online suggestions but my immediate needs are taken care of.

Sounds like you did well. It's a well regarded model.
Thanks for the comment Tom! Where do you generally purchase your cell phones by the way?
It's hard to generalize, since I buy them so infrequently. I bought an iphone by calling AT&T on the phone in 2010. I bought its replacement -- another iphone -- earlier this year at an AT&T store. The stores associated with the carriers seem decent. They are usually independently owned, so you are supporting a local business. B&H is known for giving solid values, too.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. By service in the title I mean Customer Service. Couldn't figure out how to edit title. First I have TMobile as a carrier and want to stick with them so the phone needs to be TMobile compatible. Second, I want a Samsung (Android). But that's all I care about for the most part. I have the crappiest LG phone because I didn't at the time want to give up my keyboard but know I'm ready. I would rather have an older model Samsung Galaxy that still allows memory cards and I believe the old S4 might have even been water resistant. I would also like one compatible with NextRadio (that allows one to bring back the old FM radio tuner on many phones) but that's not a deal breaker. Buying through TMobile only gives me newer refurbished models and I don't think TMobile's prices are the best in any event. So which sites are best? Going through Amazon? Ebay? And just look for respected sellers? Thanks again for any suggestions!
