New Phone.

I was anxiously waiting for the Nexus 4 to get restocked, then my friend gave me an offer I couldn't resist.

$340 for a mint conditioned- factory unlocked iPhone 4S 32gb. This seemed like a pretty good deal whatnot.

I've been using second-hand iPhone 3G since 2009 and desperately needed a new phone that functions (at least working home button or earphone jack- which didn't work since this spring). I also needed a new phone that stays fit in my pocket and be able to stick with me for long time. I guess this one will be my new partner for upcoming years.

I was hoping to move away from the iPhone's high-end price and its oppressed iOS, but ironically I'm back to here. I hope I don't end up locking myself into the Apple Inc. ecosystem just like what this Guardian UK article is referring to. In the mean time, I'm enjoying what this little thing can offer- this thing can wirelessly sync this with the iTunes on my Macbook and send free iMessages to my friends!
