Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

Preorders start tomorrow, officially goes on sale June 21.

I've been a pretty die-hard iPhone fan, but I'll be taking a very serious look at this for my next phone. It's a ruggedized Nexus phone, meaning you can stay on top of Android version updates. It's waterproof, shock proof, dust proof, etc. Basically you can put a mount on your handlebars and it's good to go out in the weather. Oh, and it has glove touch, so you don't have to take your gloves off to use it.

There aren't many things I want to do to interact with my phone on the bike, but the few there are would be *really* nice. Simple stuff like caller ID when my Sena rings, or seeing a text message without having to stop and pull over. Most days I'm coordinating my evening plans as I'm leaving work, so it would be super helpful to be able to see my phone. Even better if I can dictate text messages via bluetooth.

WANT!


I hope the rumors of it hitting Verizon next month are true. One if my lines is ready for can upgrade and though I'm not taking an upgrade on my line (so I can keep unlimited data) I'm not above taking an upgrade on my mom's line and giving her a better than she has now crap phone

Doesn't sound like it's going to be available to any other carriers except AT&T as of now.

Yeah, it's AT&T exclusive. Which is fine for me, that's who I'm on.
