I second the note 3, they are around 150 bucks right now and amazing.. You could hack this thing and make a drone with smart bombs this thing is soo intense. Has built in temp sensors, pressure sensor/barometer, humidity sensor(all local on the phone not over the internet) face detection, gyro, gps, list goes on and on and on.. all of the photos in my signature were taken with it the camera is amazing, does slowmo videos too these pictures are ones I took with the note 3, same position, different focal points by taping on a different area on the screen

I got a sandisk also they are made in china by the way so probably come from the same "factory" you are talking smack on 
The 128 one is from a different brand, I forget it offhand. Ahh, PNY Tech as seen here: sd card
Its on sale I guess and is 89$ normally according to the pricing.

From ebay? General rule of thumb, don't buy electronics on ebay. There's a LOT of counterfeits.
I pretty much guarantee that was a counterfeit if it's only showing 8GB and you bought a 64.
I've been burned before too from ebay multiple times. SD cards, batteries, phone chargers. They are GOOD at making cheap fakes that look exactly like the originals. So my rule of thumb is never buy electronics on ebay.
I probably should have warned you about ebay. Some things ebay is good for. SD cards and 18650 batteries and similar.. not so much. Those are markets that are FLOODED with counterfeits, so it's important to get it from a reliable vendor.

Do not get a Sony phone. They are shit.
I buy used phones off ebay because I am really rough with them and break them all the time. Right now I'm on a LG G4 and so far it is a really good phone. It's incrediblly light, but its a little too big. I think I got it for $150

I just found out my 5s has bent! what the fack... I looked it up and found that the iPhone 6 is even more prone to bending, but not so much the 6s which has almost twice the thickness at crucial points. My interest in mac phones has taken a hit.

i know this is off topic, but i just bought a mutation v4 rda from ebay on the 8th and it /might/ get here in ten days. just got to new york customs two and a half days ago... do you think it will be OK? i know it's a clone, no other way it couldnt be.

Unless you paid 25-35 for it, chances are pretty good its a clone. Clones are very hit and miss IME. I've NEVER had a good long term experience with a clone RDA.. but I've heard some people that have Tobecos are supposed to make pretty good clones. For me, when it comes to mods... it's authentic or bust. I have a bunch of clones from when I first started and was experimenting... they caused me nothing but headaches.. so I'll spend the extra for authentic. I won't / didn't however... ever pay 100+ for a fucking mech mod. Fuck that shit. When I did mech mods I would get clones.. because it's just a freaking tube of metal and I refuse to pay $80+ for a 6" tube of metal with a switch on principle. RDAs are a different story. Plus there's tons of authentic RDAs that only cost around 30-40, so it doesn't really make much sense to me to pay $5-10 or whatever for a clone which more than likely is gonna suck.
But who knows, maybe it's a good one.

I have had good and bad experienced buying electronics on ebay I think the real key is not buying cheap electronics on ebay.

check sells reviews, get something with a 14 day return so you can test the crap out of it.. They will gladely exchange your phone if something was wrong too prevent negative ratings. I buy off from ebay about 3 times a week. You can message the seller directly if need be, it's legit..
