I currently have AT&T but might be willing to switch if I have to.

What is the most durable phone out there? I completely destroy cell phones and I'm currently using a camera-less go phone that the lock button is broken on.

Waterproof is an absolute must and is probably the most important thing. I drown my share of phones.

Does not have to be a smartphone, but it can be.

It can be a iphone with a badass case if that's the best

I see the samsung rugby and rugby smart are waterproof and all that good shite, but there are also waterproof iphone cases. Which one has the best chance of surviving 2 years of living in downshift's pocket?

TIA OB tech nerds

You should write Motorola and volunteer to test new phones for them

My phones started lasting longer when I quit using the stupid hip holsters and just keep it in my pocket. 2-1/2 years with my eye phone. Cheap thin case.

Buy the phone and send it here - Liquipel

Then put it in a Lifeproof case or the fattest Otterbox you can stand.

iPhone 3GS for free with contract extension, plus a life proof case. Or a 4 for $100

The Razr is pretty friendly with water resitence and being made of Kevlar. But if you do break the screen its $250 for a new one.

Any phone in an Otterbox is outdoor friendly,.

I droped my Rugby in the toliet and the bitch floated. I never had a problem with mine. The only reason I got an Iphone was the texting. I hunt in Tenn and the phone reception sucks unless you're by the camp, high hill. For safety reasons I switched.
