The OPO has to go down as one of the best phones ever made. It still looks fantastic up against the soulless slabs and rubbish notches of today. I still use mine to tinker around with new ROMs and LineageOS 16 is ridiculously fast on such an old piece of hardware.
Unfortunately gaming causes it to heat up and throttle a lot because of the old 32bit processor and archaic GPU otherwise I could quite easily use it as a daily driver still.
It's quite simply a legend among phones.

Walter C. Dornez, 08 Oct 2019True, though I do understand taxation by the government. As... moreWell if you ever come to Slovakia you will clearly find we pay 20% tax to fill pockets of people presenting government.
Roads pedestrian routes many buildings grass and trees in the city quality of city services and many else cannot say that.
They cannot say they are happy with the money spent on making everything clear and working.
Just for example a really good example.
Our country Slovakia is like 250 kilometers from south to north and about 500 wide.
From tohe capitol city of Bratislava a Highway was starting to exist in 1996 which should end at second biggest city in country known as Košice which is like 450 kilometers away.
From the first step build first concrete placed back in 1996 until now its nowhere to be finnished desúpite the fact there was so much money put into this project we should have highway to even London or Moscow build in 23 almost 24 years of nonstop working on this highway.
Another fact is that our first class roads in Capitol city looks likes military tanks training grounds. And some towns and roads looks even worse.
I hope i dont need to continue.
When i go to our neighbours country Austria everything there looks like country from a very far future.
Its just us which looks like a modern city build with medieval technologies or vice versa :-)
No jokes you have to come here to clearly see how bad or funny this is.

Another horrible thing of our country is 20% VAT on everything except services which are 10%. LIke hairdresser thats 10% but when you buy goods like food or new phone a 20% goes to VAT or in other words money one pay to his country and government.

Whats that supposed to be mean???
Here in Slovakia a tiny country with 5,5 million of people and about 250 km from south to north border and about 500 from east to west we have plenty of vendors or shops.
Just cell phones sells more than 100 different shops.
But the pricing is completely horrible,
But i do understand that some E-Shops which doesnt need to pay rent and people are pretty cheap. Compared to some large malls where everything is pricey due to a very high expenses.

Walter C. Dornez, 02 Oct 2019Makes sense. What's your stance on trading in an older phon... moreHere in Slovakia we can sell our old devices to other people and sometimes trade them to the major company like Samsung buys older samsungs but only S and Note series which is harsh.
In case of apple is same.
If i like something i usualy use it until it dies or if i have other option i use it.
Like for example my Vibeshot from Lenovo i gave it to friend of mine and mine parents when his old samsung galaxy young died. I sold it for 100 eur last year january and since fisrt day of possible buy i have my Moto X4 for mid october 2017. So because i had a spare device i sold my Lenovo Vibeshot in a top condition with brand new batery i paid for replacement to our old friend.

Despite the fact i can buy even two of them i wouldnt cross 400 euro and you know that i told you plenty of times.
