Back Up Smart Phone

Rebel_Kn1ght

Already have a Galaxy S3 but not keen on bringing it to work. Dust and falling are an issue. Thinking of buying a second phone for work. Blackberry Curve 9320 or Sony Xperia J are what I'm thinking. Budget is around €200, any other recommendations

A Samsung cobble...cost a tenner, battery lasts for over 2 weeks and its basically a phone.ie. it makes and takes calls and texts, perfect for work.

I know, but if you want a different phone because you are worried about breaking it, what happens when you smash the 200 quid phone, buy another? Just get a cobble for work and leave the S3 in the car if your worried about it.....

If you did buy a cheaper smartphone it would drive you nuts. Having a s3 and then going to a cheaper phone the difference in speed/performance would be very notacible.

Just get a very good case for your s3. I've brought my s3 to a construction site numerous times this year without issue, it's still going strong.

I would agree with this, something along these lines :

Motorola Defy Mini/Defy/Defy Plus
Dust proof
Water proof (esp the plus)

Specs wise not exactly modern tech, but built to defy environments like you mention. Worth considering imho.
