Ok whatever, Nexus5 it is.
After years with a PublicMobile chinese ZTE n860 with bunk firmware that defied upgrade it will be nice to have a big boy phone. On a big boy network.
Remains to be seen what they will do to my dataplan.. it was unlimited but it is now 1GB capped but they don't charge overages and I haven't notice the supposed speed throttling that is supposed to occur after 1GB.
Regardless. I'm been living like an outlaw for so many months it seems like it should be easy to settle into a real data plan, on a real network with a modern and proper phone.
Or so it is easy to say before opening the box and fitting the Sim and activating my vagrancy away. Poop.
