Got an LG Optimus F3 & hacked it a bit (root, super user, titanium backup to restore app data & settings). It has a small, 4 inch display. Won't be mistaken for a late model Samsung by the Harlem thief. :smile:

Will play with customized ROMs and overclock the processor later. Must practice a bit on an old, cast-off motorola triumph first.

Thanks to everyone who replied! <3

Get insurance on your phone, if you have a job that you couldn't afford to replace your phone and you take as seriously as you claim time to ask for a raise or them to buy you a work phone.

At least one burly black drug dealer in a huge winter coat loiters inside this Harlem restaurant, openly discusses product quality with colleagues/associates, watches foot traffic pass, and takes orders by cell phone. O_e (I did not overhear product varieties and exact price quotes before he left to make the next delivery.)

These comments indicate that the practice has been ongoing since 2007 at least.
