OnePlus One phone giveaway

After a long hiatus, I'm back here with the intention of getting my first smartphone. You read that correctly, a new smartphone. The people at Android Authority are giving away 1 OnePlus One 64GB Sandstone Black Android smartphone to 1 lucky person. You can enter through here to get a chance to win a brand new smartphone. This phone is the most elusive by a start-up company that has a huge marketing plan that is controversial and unique. The only way to get the phone is through an invite and you have 24 hours to purchase the phone.

What's even more interesting is that the price makes it affordable and its specs are pretty good compared to other high-end Android phones. However, getting an invite is just impossible unless you're an early supporter or gotten one from somewhere. The Chinese version is available, but it comes with Color OS which is pretty terrible while the International version comes with Cyanogenmod 11 (a mod of Android KitKat). Don't miss your chance to win the actual phone and not an invite since these things go by quickly.

Just got my first cell phone

I just got my first cell phone and this is the first time I have ever gotten one. It is very complicated to learn judging from the instructions in the manual, but I'll managed to get by somehow. The reason is that everybody I know of has a cell phone and now that college tends to have class cancellations sometimes, so I need one just in case of emergencies. I don't talk much so I go with the pay as you go plan. Of course, the serious drawback is that you have to put a certain money in the cell phone account every three months in order to be considered active. Even if it does have a balance, a certain amount of money has to be deposited in the account every 90 days. Virgin Mobile isn't so bad, as it is a sub-contractor under the Sprint Network. I'll use this phone only for emergencies and only as the need arises.
