Even if I have to save pennies for a year, it would be worth the upgrade to me if it's all possible to obtain in the US.

It is an "old" Nokia N8 phone that first came on the market 3 years ago, and has been a discontinued model for about a year so no possibility of getting a new one, besides in other respects such as software it does not compare favourably with top end phones now on the market; I am holding onto mine because it is superior to all but the Nokia 808 with respect to its camera, and has very good audio and navigation, those being things of importance to my own use.
Just so it is just not me who is making a claim as to its readability in sunlight, if one was to look out the gsmarena.com detailed review it would be seen that they say; "Another first is a Nokia AMOLED display to remain perfectly legible under direct sunlight. Previous attempts were pretty poor on a bright sunny day, but this time they got it right." I cannot comment on other manufacturer's phones but I know the likes of the Nokia E7, etc. are reputed to be the same.
That is a phone with 3 year old (at time to market) technology so daylight readable screens have been around for quite some time (they, of course, also exist on other electronic equipment).
