Too Long; Didn't Read
Some of the lower-end phones, seem more "tinkerer-friendly" than the expensive phones. Many phones promised to honor their word matching Amazon, but when it lists even the direct manufacturer of the phone itself, then says next to it, "fullfilled by Amazon", they claimed that wasn't Amazon themselves. Many stores that offered price matching were sometimes $50-$75+ above the MSRP, and if they were leniant it felt like it took ten or twenty minutes worth of convincing. The phone I purchased as that store had a very specific custom build, which meant the phone was accidentally meant to be a display phone.
