He asked for an opinion on what phone to purchase given his budget. Suggesting something is what he wanted, not saying "don't spend your money, you're too young"." What a great and constructive opinion. Guess you should go stake out the desktop section and tell all the younger people going through there they shouldn't spend money because they probably have an old computer laying around the house since they "already have one" as you say.
I generally get along with people pretty well on here but you really need to think about what you're saying because most of the time you just spout bull.
The bold part. That's you. Comparing an older smart phone to a older computer is the WORST comparison ever.
Either way, this whole thread just took a slight shortcut through the mountains then ended up barreling over a cliff and into a deep ravine of hate. Moving forward.
First off, I'm not rich by any means, I simply buy what I want when I want, because after all life is meant to enjoy. If I want a new phone, I get a new phone. If I want to take a road trip across country and eat out while I'm there, I do that.
Jesus Christ guys.....
I asked for an opinion. Thanks for the people who gave me an answer. $300 is all the cash I have currently. I have saved up since I bought my computer, about six/seven months ago. I didn't spend any money on anything, no movies, no Riot Points, no Doritos. I'm tired of using a phone that lags while texting a friend. I agree that I don't need a super nice phone, which I'm not trying to buy. I can't afford a new S5 or IPhone. So I'm asking for a fairly budget smartphone. Also, I'm pretty hurt that NikonGuy would call me a stupid, clumsy 13 year old. I'm very responsible with things, I've never left my current phone behind in the last 1 1/2 years that I've had it. I have dropped my phone once or twice before, but that's why I have a case on it. I agree that I don't really need it, but is it wrong to have nice things once in a while?
Also, I do some Unity programming for android so.... Having a good device really helps
Moving forward.
I know how it is.
What carrier do you have?

Most 13 year old's don't even have this level of financial responsibility to save up $300, most spend every dollar they get on food and sugary drinks.

When you were 13, phone plans on a Family Plan didn't cost $10 a month, and you couldn't get a functional phone for ~$40.
Ninja, I'd be willing to give you my ZTE Zinger for ~$20 when I get a new phone, though no promises. Not very fast but should be significantly better than what you're using now. And BTW, your plan doesn't matter. Any T-Mobile locked phone will work on any T-Mobile plan. Prepaid on Simple Choice, etc.
I didn't realize the OPO was $299. I thought they were more than that.
What I don't understand is if he's gonna use Tmobile anyway he should ask his parents for a monthly thing because my fiancee just got a Samsung Galaxy S5 for $20, and the contract is $25 a month unlimited talk and text and 1gb data...
So he should spend $20-40 depending where he goes for a phone, and spend the rest $280 through out the year paying for the contract... If he blows everything on the phone so it's unlocked, he won't be able to pay for any service lol.
