Pixel 4a shipped finally! Canada Post though
WTF is up with those avatars....for the first few seconds into the thread I thought ES was freaking talking to himself!!
If you're okay with refurbished phones, you can find a Razer Phone 2 for under $500. I've had one for a year now and I like it. I can't find new ones for less than about $800 right now though so it's either used or nothing.
I think it's an old phone, and the camera sucks. The display is nice though, the battery seems to last a long time, the speakers are good and it's pretty heavy if you ever need to brain a fucker. And your emails will come in at the exact same time as your computer, no sooner, no later. That's an SKR guarantee.

Samsung S20 FE 5G pretty good deal.

Taxes and duty is only showing up as $31 usd so this is a good deal. Pixel 5 is expected at $799 CDN and 4a 5G is $679.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Hope nothing goes wrong though as you will have to deal with samsung usa support as I found out year ago buying a gear fit from BH.
The sweet spot for phone value is always in the $600-700 range. Relatively speaking it's a good deal because high end phones are all closer to $2000 these days, and the typical user experience isn't much different, but it's still a significant amount of money.
Phones like the Pixel 4a, upcoming Pixel 5, Galaxy S10 Lite (or upcoming S20 Lite/FE), etc. are all going to be your best bang for the buck by far. Something like the S10 Lite is only $600, pretty close to what you want to pay and is extremely well reviewed. Samsung's latest UI/overlay is also dramatically improved from years past and pretty much just serves to add functionality to stock android now.

Think pixel 4a will be on sale for black Friday? Be nice to save $50 from the $479 regular price if possible.
Moto G8 lineup seems pretty good, but a full step down for ~$290.

Well Kiddies, I didn't see any sales for the pixel 4a for Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Before I go crazy and just buy my phone for pull price, I'll give everyone one more chance to talk me into a telus plan. Or a plan with anyone else.
Here's my math. I need unlimited long distance to the USA, PLUS unlimited calling back to canada when I'm in the USA Not a whole lots of data, but some. My Current cellphone plan gives me all that with "shitty public mobile" and costs me $56/mo.
Going to telus, I could use the EPP and get the $95 Can-US peace of mind plan for what, $85? And on top of that I'd pay $15/mo for 24 months for the Pixel 4a. So my monthly cost would be $100?
So over a 24 month term, I'm paying (100-56)x24 = $1056 for that phone? Is that math right? Doesn't seem like a good value when I could buy the phone outright for $479.
Zero interest in a Samsung phone, or any iphone, or any "flagship" phone. Don't even bring that shit around here, @The_Rural_Juror

There are a fuckton of wicked no-name chinesium phones (not Huawei) that have good mid range specs for cheap. Got my wife this last year and she has been very happy. I have an even cheaper model as a backup phone.

300$ for a global phone that will work on most major networks - but one should confirm. We in North America are way behind the times in terms of mobile technology. "not compatible with CDMA carriers ( Like Sprint or Verizon for example )"
With apples and samdungs, you are paying a lot extra for just the name.

If you have Shaw "Fibre" internet at home...
Buy a Pixel 4a with the $0 plan. It's $20/month with a $20 activation fee. So $260 for the phone. Don't bother using the sim card, or use it in one of your kids phones.

The best price/performance ratio are usually on tech items you have not heard of. Unlocked global phones running Android 9 or 10 are the way to go.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Moto G9 plus is out in UK and will be available in Canada soon. Seems like it'll be ~$320 and that's a hell of a good deal.
