Moving is insanely expensive, I really feel your pain and understand the weightings going through your head. 6 moves in 9.5 years for me, I feel like a broke vagrant.
The 3g stuff was/is utter bollocks.
"Hey, some people might not be able to make emergency calls anymore so let's disable everyone's phones that may be impacted altogether so that they definitely can't".
I do wonder who that bandwidth is going to be sold to and what it'll be used for.
My partner was getting messages every day about it though for roughly 3 months but she thought she'd worked around it, only to have them just blanket ban the device. Frustrating.
On the quality of OP, yeah they lost me (a former OP5 owner) when they switched and ditched the headphone jack which is a hill I will die on. But my partner primarily uses bluetooth IEMs over her wired IE80s. We'll see the quality of the latest build soon and I'm happy to update you.
Again though, the Red Magic 9 Pro is like a Swiss army knife that's built like a brick shit house door. After owning it it would pay double the RRP to get another.
Edit: I know nothing about the Nothing phones so can't comment on that.
