@sumudu how do people live in those temperatures?
@kdfrawg you pay more for the service plan than you do for the phone :P

@kdfrawg I haven't done a huge survey by any stretch and I've only looked at a couple on Cricket Wireless. What's available will depend on your operator of choice.
The nicest feeling one was the Samsung Galaxy Sol (but it was also the most expensive).
The peppiest one of the bunch (software-wise) was the LG Risio 2.
The Kyocera Hydro View is now $24.95 at my local Target, but the software definitely makes it feel budget. It feels solid in the hands, though.

@hybotics There are plenty of budget Android devices out there. You should be able to find something under $100 to "get you by" with the benefit that if it gets lost/stolen, the replacement cost won't break the bank.
If you want something slightly nicer that may last longer, maybe go for a Nokia 6 or a Motorola Moto G5 Plus (in the low $200 range).
@hybotics I still have my Nexus One in a drawer somewhere. I dropped it and the screen died a horrible death (internally).
@indigo not that I’m aware of. That said if you are managing your insulin properly it will be reflected in your blood glucose readings.

@matigo I did get a pay bump before changing jobs, but no additional pay with my new gig. That said we had money set aside for this particular project, which we started (but aborted) last year due to our choice in contractor.
@matigo not quite. :P
Even so, when it's all said and done, it will be a significant improvement over the patio and deck that was there before. A very expensive improvement as my checkbook can attest to. ?
