Best smartphone for gps use?
Does anyone have any experience of different makes of smartphone in terms of suitability for use with gps? Speed of location (outside of phone signal areas), ease of use, ruggedness... At the moment I'm looking at Motorola's Defy+. To give you an idea of what I'm aiming at, I want a phone that will withstand minor knocks, water exposure etc, not too bulky, and useable with OSM and Viewranger. I've found it hard to find helpful comments on the web, and as a bit of a luddite I don't want to be blinded by techno babble - just tell me what OS works best etc.
PS Without wanting to stir up trouble, I'm anti iphone - disagree with Apple's operating and marketing principles. Tell me how marvellous they are, and why, in layman's terms by all means, but I still won't be getting one!
Thanks for your opinions,
Simon.
PPS This question is SPECIFICALLY about phones. I don't want to hear about dedicated gps from Garmin etc. Got a 276c. Love it. Doesn't run Viewranger. Thanks.
