Whichever is cheapest.

Bear in mind that when you buy from a third-party reseller / agent (like Digitel, Amazon, "that guy in the mall", etc), you may be subject to additional terms. For example, they may charge you an early termination fee of $250 IN ADDITION to your ETF with Sprint. They may also require you to stay on a specific rate plan for a given number of months. In exchange for these terms, the agents usually ofter drastically lower prices. The return period may also be different with the agent than with the carrier.

You will get the same warranty and customer service either way, no matter what any employee tells you.

I would definitely buy your accessories online. Your average high-quality premium-grade car charger is around $.50 - $1 wholesale. A carrier might mark this charger up to $30, but online pricing may be around $10 with free shipping.

Amazon.com has a lot of accessories for GREAT prices.

I walked into my ATT store this morning and purchased my new one. Was about the 15th person in line at 3 mins after they opened. Was done in less than an hour including my wait.

Did you already have an older Iphone? I have the original generation one Iphone that's about 4 years old but it is getting beat up and isn't holding it's charge well any more.
I have an ATT account. Did you have to sign a new long term plan to get the new Iphone or were you able to just keep your old account?
