After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

more than you wanted but im hearing great things about this one

Motorola Moto X4
You don’t have to fork over $1,000 to Cupertino for a sleek smartphone. The Android-powered Moto X4 is proof. The 5.2-inch LCD screen is vivid, with impressively deep blacks. It has an all-day battery, takes killer photos, can withstand a dunk in the toilet, and will work on all four major wireless carriers. $350

figured it was worth mentioning as a baseline
wired is still known for good reviews

im not in the market nor want to be but if I was id probably go with one of those Chinese huawei models as well

just to piss off the locals if nothing else

note to self: look into Huawei bumperstickers...

there are some fairly new companies here in the states which specialize in replacing screens, and many will even come to you, with competitive low pricing as well. check to see if they have them in your area. when you get it fixed or a new phone, be sure to get one of these tempered glass screen protectors, less than $3 on ebay... they're great! just don't get the 99-cent ones because the bubbles are crazy, but the tempered glass doesn't bubble at all. btw, I recently had to buy a replacement phone, got an samsung galaxy for just an extra $7/mo on my service bill until it's paid off.
