I bought my very first android phone last week and the story of how I got is what I want to share with you today because it involves a complete stranger.

If you’re on the internet and are into gadgets you would have heard of the name OnePlus. They make good phones for a low price. Much lower than big companies like Samsung or LG or Apple. However, getting their latest phone is no easy task because of their controversial invite system. For someone like me who didn’t buy their first phone getting an invite so soon is nigh impossible.

On their forums I came across a user named Cool Droid. He had a cool Whatsapp mod that I commented on and we got talking. He commented on my introductory post (which had some of my work) and somewhere along the line he said he would give me an invite if he got one to share. Fast forward a few weeks and a few random messages later he sends me a message and tells me to come online ASAP. I do go online and he gives me an invite code for the phone.

I don’t know who he is. I don’t even know his name but here’s a stranger who kept his word. He made a promise and fulfilled it. You don’t come across such people very often. So this picture is for you Cool Droid. I really appreciate the gesture and I can’t thank you enough 🙂 Â
