So I am a little hard on my phones. I have typically stayed with the cheaper phones because of this but I think it's just me doing something wrong. I have gone through 7 phones in 2 years. Most recently one fell out of my pocket and into a hot tub I was working on. Lost one when it fell off the side of my truck into the gravel. I lost 3 phones on the motorcycle, one from dust and two from rain (I ride pretty much as my primary vehicle, so rain or shine.)
Currently I have been given an iphone 4s. It's only pro is it was free. It overheats with general use when I am outside and the weather is warm and I have already cracked the back when I got in a fight last week.
So I am looking for a phone that will stand up to actual every day use. Something I can not worry about dirt/sand/rain screwing up from it being mounted on my motorcycle handlebars. I really hate this iPhone and don't want to deal with apples bullcrap so android is probably where I should go.
The only programs I really use on my phone are Waze, Audible, and Pandora with bluetooth headphones/helmet. I do use it as a camera from time to time.
Looking for an unlocked phone compatible with AT&T and less than $500. Pref. less than $400.
I was thinking about those "tough" phones but they are always WAY behind on OS and features for some reason or another. I was also thinking maybe just a super uber case from hell on a moderate level phone.
I dunno, gimme you guys and gals opinions on the matter.
