Either it's a huge misstep or it's the start of something better. I gave in to convenience and purchased the LG G4 for way too much money. $699 CDN to be exact. Since the battery for my last smartphone (LG G2) was fried, I was off the grid for seven days. Seven agonizing long days. I felt kinda naked without the phone. Not that I'm a social animal but I did miss looking up the score of games and the price of my stocks.
I could have bought a G2 battery off Amazon and changed it myself. It might have costed $20 or so, but there were so many screws and adhesives inside the phone from the video I watched that I didn't want to deal with them.
Or I could have bought or borrowed a used G2 off one of my relatives but the smartphone to me is terribly private. I don't want to lend it to anyone nor do I want to borrow it from others.
I took the plunge and bought the G4 for $699. I didn't buy the latest G5 as the salesman mentioned that some customers have had some problems with it. The reason I bought the G4 outright is that I didn't want to lose my cellphone plan, which gives me 5 Gb of data along with the other usual items for $50 per month. (That's a decent plan for Canada.)
After I bought the phone, I said to myself, 'the phone will pay for itself'.
Anybody know where I can get paid for using the phone?
