Get a cheap android from one of those prepaid companies. It'll only cost you 20 bucks to get talk and text and a shitty phone to survive until OP3 arrives. I'd do it. Totally worth the wait, loving my OP3 B|

Should i get the used one though, its got extra stuff too.

I may just use my grandmas iphone 6s plus for a few days

Didn't see the extras. Yes, definitely go for it. The phone looks like it's in excellent condition. Considering it was released fairly recently, it shouldn't have any real wear from use.

Unless you are the type to always be on your phone.

I dunno.

I dont move out of peoples way when they aint looking. Sometimes I raise my elbow too :)

had literally nothing to do with the topic at hand. Quality post man.

 

 

As for op, I'd honestly go for the axon. They both are roughly the same, no real massive difference between the two, and if you can get it a a couple weeks quicker, then all the better than having to use a shit phone for a month

The galaxy s7, axon, and op3 are all honestly so 'not' different they could be easily swapped for each other without really even noticing.

So it doesnt matter if the person is hardly on the phone ever and only uses it for voice, or if they are always looking down at it, facebook, texting, using up GB of data?

 

Then I'd say Samsung Neo, its damn cheap, plenty available. Samsung Mini S3 is cheap too.

Or if you want to go balls out then spend hundreds on a S7 or S6 or whatever.

I've had my phone for 8 years now.

Quote someone if you want them to see it. 

Op asked what phone, of several, he should get. You replied with, that you deliberately push people who look down at their phones. That contributes nothing to what he was asking, and only makes you out to be a dick.

 

All those phones are outrageously slow by todays standards. If you have the money to get a nicer, faster phone, then there's no harm in it. Saving a couple hundreds bucks if the money doesn't mean that much so you can have a superbly sub-par experience is far from favorable imo, and in the opinion of most here on the forums.

Why would I do that?

 

I dont push, I just dont move out of the way, there is a big difference. Not my fault people are stupid. I love how it scares the living shit out of people, especially shorties. But yeah when I was drunk, I would walk out of my way to "split" groups up. Fun times I guess back then.

 

What about the Samsung Ace IIx? its a great "loaner" phone until you get your $1000 Samsung S8 or whatever.
