Do you guys think financing may be a decent option for a phone? Republic Wireless released their new plans and I want to get a Moto X Pure. But I can't buy it outright so was considering financing if anyone has any experience.
If you can be a bit patient not only will the price drop a bit but you won't end up paying interest - which is like throwing money away, honestly. It really depends on how bad you want it.

My wife just got the Motorola Droid Turbo 2 and I am jealous as hell of that phone. It seriously puts my old galaxy s3 to shame.

I have this phone. It has a few annoying bugs. Chrome is slow at times. The 808 processor causes lag due to the 2k screen. Rooting and flashing a ROM is a pain in the butt. That said it is still the best phone I have ever had the camera is great unless you like to take low light shots.

Because I have a baby screaming at me,
cats screaming at me,
the mail lady honking in the driveway because she's too lazy to open a mailbox,
neighbor kids bouncing golf balls off the new siding on my house,
and because I love money.

If not for those I would never get out of bed.
Uhhhh over here, I can help :wave:

Depends honestly. Will the phone last the length of the term of financing it? Have to be careful there, especially with new and untested phone models.
I see. Well in terms of the Moto X Pure that has already been out for a while. I've been looking at reviews on it and people seem to like it. I'm used to keeping my phones for a long time so that isn't an issue.

I have one of those. Decent phone...can use any provider's sim card in it. Can be a little weird with some roms if you're into flashing.
Oh really? I've been debating pretty heavily between a Galaxy (I know it's higher quality but RIP wallet on the price) and the Moto X Pure. Never used roms on a phone before. All I want is a better phone than the Moto G, what I'm currently using. I got it when RW released it and it's become kind of clunky over the years.

I would take a look at the phone I already have and ask myself if it no longer serves my needs of a phone. If I thought I still wanted the new phone, I would definitely take the time to save up for it. Once I had the price saved up, I would ask myself again if my current phone didn't still serve it's purpose.

Edit: With this process, I've been rockin the Moto X (1st gen) with Republic wireless since right after it was introduced.
I was thinking of that as well. I debated just putting aside the money every week until I had enough for the phone, which I suppose is the best long-term decision without financing.

I currently use a Moto G, the first one they released. It doesn't suit my needs like it used to. My phone usage wasn't so heavy when I bought it so I didn't have much reason to use it a lot. And because of that, when I did use it, the phone met my needs. But now I need to use the phone a lot more so I want something that can keep up with that.

If you can be a bit patient not only will the price drop a bit but you won't end up paying interest - which is like throwing money away, honestly. It really depends on how bad you want it.

That's very true. I might just decide to save up for it after all.

Do you think it would run okay with applications like Perk? It plays video advertisements.

Absolutely! You can buy a crappy 20 dollar phone and do that too FYI. The expandable storage is very nice too on the Pure. Avoid LG if you like Soluto's lol.

I've had two Moto Pures. They're the best budget phone you can get. I pre-ordered both and loved the customization Motorola offers. They pack a pretty damn good punch for the price and blew my Note 4 away. Only complaint is the battery life isn't amazing. I personally loved the way the phone is curved and the back felt really smooth. I'd definitely say get one but please, for the love of god, don't be one of those people who ruin the look of the phone by getting a leather backing.

Bad battery? Mine lasts all day with moderate use 80% wifi 20% LTE on Cricket. Pretty good considering the screen size/resolution and a 3,000 mah battery.

I just got bored enough to try one of those ALTA crowdsourcing transcription hits. Sucked hard. Thick accents.
