Buying A Tokunbo Android Device In Ikeja (Or Wherever!)

Hello World,

Yesterday i spoke with a friend of mine who expressed interest in purchasing an android device, Said he "i dunno how much they sell those phones(Android) but i know its very expensive so I'll rather buy a used bold 2" i calmly told him that i could get him a HTC DESIRE G2 OS 2.3.4(gingerbread) with NGN25000. he stared at me like i was mad and told me it was a lie, so i went through the great ceremony of calling my contact in Ikeja computer village and putting him on loudspeaker so that he could tell us the price. of which we got the pleasant surprise of finding out it could be purchased for NGN19000, that's like NGN6000 cheaper!!

So what do you do to get an android phone that is worth every penny or kobo? I'll enumerate the steps below 

 * Know the strength of the make you want to purchase!! (Samsung has Swag and crazy Sound, HTC is multipurpose but the battery might fuck up(pardon the word!) T-mobile and other makes that are network related always have one restriction or the other and will require you rooting the phone and bla...bla...black sheep ...have you any time for that !!)
 
* Go with a browsing phone that will allow you to check the phone specs as you price, this will save you from getting a surprise that your phone can't do this or that!!

* Let your bargain be simple you don't have to plead like a criminal to buy the phones, if the OS is lower than OS 2.3.7 its price should be lower than NGN25000 if the OS is higher than that, then the price will be higher!

* Brand Names are expensive! so if you go to computer village acting like a whizkid (Oversabi) then you will be treated like wizkid (don't be feeling yourself oh !)

That's pretty much everything you need to buy a phone that's worth it, so good luck and i hope you get a nice phone!!
 
Goodbye World.
