Hey, I got a budget android phone, they do exist.

 

Ur-Quan Masters, Angband, Armada Arcade are good games to keep boredom at bay.

HiSurfing for cockblocking all data communication. They told me you require a data plan to use this phone. Sure showed them (Requires root)
'Sound Manager' is useful if you go to school or somesuch and don't want to worry about muting/unmuting the phone all the time.
