Now it's expensive($119 a month all taxes included), but for everything it does I like it. I have unlimited calls, texts, and 10GBS of data which is way more than I need.
It's basically a mobile computer.
As for the finger print part. If you ever served in the U.S. military or been arrested, then the FBI already has your finger prints. LOL! So I wouldn't worry too much about that.
If I were you, then I would just get Apple's latest greatest phone. This is because it should last you probably at least 5 years (you may have to get a new battery) with probably 0 problems.
Anyhow, here is a link and good luck on your research.
The fingerprint doesn't go to Apple. It never leaves your iPhone and as a matter of fact, it's not even stored as an image in the iPhone. The image is converted to a hash. Each time your finger or fingers touch the sensor the hash is re-computed and compared against the hash. If there is a match witching a certain range, you get in, if no, you don't. But there is no way the fingerprint is sent anywhere.
