I think the confusion is you cannot make extra payments like you can with a house of car loan.  

You either pay monthly with your bill, or, if you chose to shorten the term, you must pay in full.

The other option is the pay to upgrade with trade in.

On Next every year, you pay 12 payments and 50 % of the phone, you can trade it in, and enter a new agreement.

on Next 24, you have 30 payments, but can upgrade with trade in once you pay 24 payments.

Presuming you buy on a Next plan, yes you can pay the balance of what you owe at any time.

It doesn't get obsolete any faster or slower depending on how you pay for it.
