I need some help please.
I want/need to get a new phone for work etc.
I want to be able to make calls, txt & most importantly I need to load "Shooter" or equivilent :)
I need a new ballistic program as I currently use Exbal but its stops just under 2000 yards :(
Which one do I get ????
Motorola Defy and Samsung Galaxy Xcover are both claimed waterproof and shock resistant, running Android.
I've got no experience of them as yet but they are talked about on the "other" forum.
Everyone i know with these have had trouble..........ask adam:thumbsup: an 3 guys at work to have all pooed an i have had my work one replaced 3times to, wouldnt touch them personallyQuote:

My Brother Inlaw just got one of these and it seems pretty good. The Samsung Galaxy's get a good wrap.Quote:

What is your budget?
Get a Ipod touch a separate normal phone
That makes heaps of sense....... who thought of that ??? :DQuote:

Yep, can get shooter for apple now and also ballistic fte. I use an iPod touch in a waterproof/crush proof case (pelican or otter box)
Thanks.Quote:

I have grabbed the case off my Palm at this stage, will look at a better cash soonish.
Now I'm in the middle of loading all the crap........I'm almost too old for this shit, just as well I have some young help :D
I currently use my iphone, but loosing an ipod touch would make me cry far less.
But being able to check my emails 2000m up the macauley is quite useful!
If only a rino had shooter, and an anemometer, we'd be away

Well I can tell you what doesn't work - anything using windows mobile! I need a phone with it to run a farm app but can't get any ballistics program.:omg:
I had the defy which was great apart from the glitches and freezing... then the so called water resistant episode that finally killed it...
AKA phones in the jetboat dont mix...
Got a moterola atrix now and let me just say OMFG amazing.... UNBELEIVABLE piece of technology...
Get your daughter to help you Greg. She'll be an ace with the Ipod. She can probably teach you how to use it too. :thumbsup:Quote:

I downloaded shooter and at the range - I only use my phone for calculations.... In the heat of the moment in the field - I still reach for my paper drop chart.
I also use one of these as it provides awesome protection in the bush - http://www.trademe.co.nz/mobile-phon...-461576231.htm
I have a Ipod with Knights Armaments on it and a Barrett Bors on a NF scope, the Bors is good but all the all up weight of rifle, scope and Bors is challenging hence I snipe a lot.
You want to sell it???Quote:

Do they do anything except rapidly slow down:P

Does it have the option to set the start of the report at xxxx meters, Exbal on my laptop lets you start the report at 1600 meters max and then goes out to 3600 meters with the drop chart
