Nokia Lumia X if you want to do Windows Phone Dev
iPhone X if you want to watch the world burn

I just bought a Samsung S3 (i747) for $32 from Amazon. (Watch out for the difference between the older i9300 (Ice Cream Sandwich) and the newer i747 in offers). It has Android Jelly Bean and a bunch of apps including Quick Office for MS Office compatibility. And you get to say you own a 747!
I am sure it has some warts along with the sunshine. There are so many Free apps on Google Play, Amazon Store, and others that I intend to tailor it to my specific preferences.
I did this for my wife on her i747. She has what she prefers. Her needs are at the opposite end of the scale from mine.
One thing to put extra emphasis on for any smartphone is virus and malware protection. Hackers are targeting mobile phones. There are some good AV and AMAL apps out there. Make sure to get one and test it.
So for $32, considering the plethora of apps, this may be a good choice for you as well.
Good luck.

If you aren't expecting phone calls and aren't using it, switch you phone to flight mode. You'd be amazed how long the battery lasts in flight mode. Mine, which usually drains in 1.5 days lasted 7 days!!! Of course, everybody knows I don't switch my phone on (or it is in flight mode so I can't receive anything) so there is no problem receiving calls.

I have not gotten it yet, but have opted for the Nokia Lumia 928 WP. Thanks to all for the advice!

I have the 920. The first thing I did was buy a case for it because it was so slippery that I knew I'd drop it otherwise.

First you need to decide how you are going to use the phone;
As a smarter version of a dumb phone? Go with a 3.5 - 4" screen.
As a simple PDA & phone? - get a 4.5 - 5" screen.
As a substitute for a tablet? - get as large a screen as possible, they are offering up to 6" screens now.
In general the bigger the phone the easier it is to use the "features" and the battery life is actually better because of the bigger battery. But the trade off is a heavier phone and the awkwardness of using a phone as big as your head!
I have a Chinese Note II clone with dual SIM's and find it a good compromise size. Big enough to use as a tablet, small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. But heavier than I would like.
