@kdfrawg a dry heat is definitely more bearable but once I'm hot and sweaty, it really doesn't matter.

Going to switch back to Carrot for task management and use Recur (another Carrot app) for the recurrent reminders. We’ll see how well that works.

I couldn't imagine living without AC in those kinds of temps.

how do people live in those temperatures?

that does look like a nice phone for the money.

@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.

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).

I still have my Nexus One in a drawer somewhere. I dropped it and the screen died a horrible death (internally).

not that I’m aware of. That said if you are managing your insulin properly it will be reflected in your blood glucose readings.
