[ale] [OT] Cell phones

[James Taylor]

I'd recommend the onePlus3 if you are looking in the $300 rang phone with pretty much flagship features and a vanillish Android OS.
If you want to spend even less, with higher specs and a 5.5" diagonal screen, the UMI Super or Umi Max is an excellent value.
I bought a super for my daughter at a promo price of $189, and it has  4gb ram, 32GB of storage, expandable to 128GB. Marshamallow (Androd 6) and no bloat.
If you want a good deal on a new, in the box T-Mobile HTC10, I have an extra that I found I didn't need, and is looking for a home.

Sorry about that.  I'm on T-Mobile.  It needs only to make calls, 
tether, navigation and most importantly as close to vanilla android as 
possible.  I have a work phone from sprint that is just embarrassingly 
stuffed with bloat-ware, a lot of which cannot be uninstalled.  I have 
maybe 2 other apps over stock installed.  I'm usually around a full 
computer, so browsing on a 4.7" screen isn't very palatable.


Thanks
