Our much loved , but very psycho cat, Darth Mal, has stolen the mrs phone from her handbag and flung it at Ewok, the dog.. Long story short: phone misses dog, lands in his water bowl; phone in pieces , cat smirking, dog drenched, wife not happy and I'm looking for a new phone.
She doesn't need anything flashy but want to future-proof.Actually she's quite happy with my s4 (hers was an s3). so the new phone might end up being mine.It needs to last at least a day with moderate use (txting, watching youtube videos,checking mail, checking ozbargain compulsively.. I'm kind of hoping not to have to pay more than $600 as I've already blown my budget for the year :(
The list is of phones that I want but might not be in my budget brand new.Grey import or refurb is fine.Any other suggestions welcomed.
Cheers,
JJB
Edit: Quite surprised by how many people have stopped by to share their experiences and feedbacks. Thank you :) I'm kind of leaning towards the OPO. Is it ever going to go below $400 again?
Edit 2: I've decided to revise my budget to $300 for 2 reasons :
(i) the OzBargain 2014 Christmas Charity Donations. It is so hard to decide who to vote for when there are so many good causes.So the mrs and I have come up with the idea of spending half of what we originally planned on a gift and donate the other half to the recipient's favorite cause. Everyone's really excited about this,especially our kids :)
and (ii) I'm hoping that if I'm less selfish, I might get back on santa's good list ;)
I've also noticed that a few people have subscribed to this post, so please keep your suggestions coming.Ta
I'm in the same boat as well…get the Samsung Galaxy S5 or wait for the Galaxy S6 that comes out sometime next year, or get the Galaxy Note 4.
