New phone from China. Sounds decent.

I’ve been using the One for the last couple of weeks, and I’ve found it to be one of the best smartphones I’ve ever used. The One has a beautifully spare design, it’s loaded with the latest tech specs, and it runs CyanogenMod, a version of Google’s Android operating system that is far more flexible and easier to use than the cumbersome flavors of Android now stuffed into rival phones.
Best of all, the One sells for $299. That’s not $299 with a carrier plan or some other commitment. That’s $299 total, or less than half the price of a top-tier phone from Apple, Samsung or HTC. After you pay that price, you own the phone.

That's a damn big phone. Is the author overstating the lack of customer-service issue? While I'm sure it happens, I've never had a phone just pack it in so why should this one...?

my friend has one. it's a great phone for the price. You need an invite to buy one though and they're fairly scarce. Been trying to get an invite for weeks now.

This is a quote from the piece btw.
I have a Motorola.

I just like to point out from time to time that second hand phones exist and are not the easiest thing to recycle.

Stick 'em in a drawer?
