Hi
Might sound like a wierd question on a bike forum but I am after a new phone...
Would like one I could take out on the bike - shock proof, waterproof, a compass would be handy.. GPS cool but probably over the top for local trail use.
A few years ago Siemens did one you could even use as a bike computer - does anyone know if there is a modern day equivalent?

you can load the nokia sportstracker onto a lot of phones, as for waterproof/shockproof. That's why we have bags!0

Thanks RW - Did a search under sportstracker and found this

Who still does phones with a torch?
My SE W850i is great and has a torch which I use all the time - wouldn't mind an upgrade but it MUST have a torch - and work as an actual phone rather than a supercomputer rocketship that takes an hour to boot up.0
