zeemahn: I once planned to change my current opsson d2 and get a new phone but then, I studied the trend in phone releases and discovered that if I had waited for a month before buying my first android (tn3) I would have gotten a phone with better specs @.the same price(tecno p3) shocked I also discovered that if I had waited a bit before getting my current phone (opsson d2) , I would have gotten a better phone (like gionee p3) @ the same price. My decision now is to wait till I can get a phone with 16G ROM, 2G RAM, OVER 10MP CAMERA, OVER 2000MAH BATTERY POWER, GOOD SCREEN SIZE AND RESOLUTION, etc below 25k.
#it #is #possible

i decided to wait for one phone dat wouldn't make me bother much if others are flaunting new devices,
A phone that i'll not need to run around looking for where to charge
A phone that'll be able to take clear images of written stuffs
A phone that doesn't hang or lagg (tz can give you hbp)
A phone with large memory even without sd card

The competition is really getting tense sha
So I'll wait for the best
PhonesBetter Phones Ahead!!!!!!!!!! Don't Rush by hawksford(op): 2:40pm On Sep 20, 2014
I was thinking of getting a new phone, because the one i have now has given me high blood pressure (Huawei Ascend y320)maybe it's the RAM(Random access memory ) because I'm a heavy user and the battery life is appalling 1500mAh

So I decided to check the phone section somedays ago, lo and behold i saw great phones with amazing specs at relatively affordable rates.

I got really confused as to which one was suitable, because all were amazing (due to competition between the manufacturers )

I thought of/took into consideration the following major things(specs) i really needed in a phone

Price

RAM

Battery

Screen

Durability and other stuffs like that

I ended up with two phones (not because it was easy for me to choose but, )because they are well-known brands

So I decided to wait for a better one because I'm not satisfied with the battery and some other stuffs of the two @ the price for each one of them

And most importantly

RAM (Random access memory ) : 2GB

Then any other useful stuffs can follow

The price must not be over 22k

I know it'll come soon, i mean very soon (looking at the rate at which phone manufacturers are competing for the first place )

But For now I'll manage my fvcking phone

NB: I ain't talking about Samsung, HTC, Sony and their likes that drain the pocket for something you can get at a much more affordable rate without any major differences compared to the money gap
