The 4S is a great device. I wouldn't mind having one if I didn't have another choice for an iPhone. The lack of LTE would be a compromise.
Yeah the lack of LTE would be a compromise but I don't do any heavy lifting with data unless I'm at home on wi-fi so that shouldn't hurt too bad.

I would personally shell out the money for a 5. You can find them for relatively cheap on eBay or something and if you get a 4s now, in the middle of a phones release year that is 2 generations ahead you're gonna have to buy another one in a year or so but the 5 you should be able to get updates and such for another couple of years. I doubt the 4s makes it past iOS 8. I actually think the 4s is a decent device but I'm not sure it will be in September when iOS 8 and the next iPhone are likely to hit.
While I know exactly what you mean, I'm cool with having to buy another iPhone when I upgrade. I'm selling the Moto X for 260 so I could get a 4S and have money left as opposed to having to put another 150-200 bucks with what I get for the Moto X to get a 5 or better.
I could just go to the ATM and buy one for 400 bucks or so but that would NOT sit well with the wife and I have to live with her.

Maybe you can find a 5c for cheap. It'll hold you over for a while.
I see 2 5Cs on Craigslist....one blue and one pink. Well, I saw a white one but the guy never responded. I think I deal with Craigslist because I like instant gratification and eBay (for example) doesn't feed that need. I'm a strange one. Ha
Well, I did find 1 iPhone 5 that was reasonable but it's some guy that works at Verizon and fixes iPhones so what he's selling is a 5 with a black front and silver/white on the back! It's like a more premium 5C but it looks weird! Not going to buy your FrankenPhone sir.
