Feature-wise, my priorities are the basic call/text, music (Spotify, Last.fm, etc.), Kindle, email, web browser, and decent audio/video recording. Anything else is a bonus. But the more indestructible the better. 
I've got about $200 Canadian to start with, but I'll probably be getting a job soon to add to that, plus my parents will be chipping in some. |
Be aware that if you get Spotify on a mobile it seems impossible to upgrade to Premium, even if you are already Premium: it doesn't recognise you. And then you are stuck with Shuffle Play all the time. Don't know how important that is to you, and I don't know if it's all phones, but my Galaxy S4 acts like this and forums I've checked all say Spotify couldn't give a **** and ignore all messages, so it's unlikely to be addressed.
Edit: glass back can be sorted by getting a hardcase cover. As for Google Play, it won't. Not on my phone, and I'm told Android in general has a problem with it.
