Looking to replace my pants Nokia smartphone with something that is less glitchy and tough as well for using in rain, up hills etc.
Can only find the Motorola that fits the bill (other tough phones are very basic) any other options?

There was a tough phone review in Live, the MoS bloke supplement, and the Defy was the only proper smartphone to get a top review. Good on a bike with Viewranger.

Defy is an awesome phone and very underrated in terms of performance
Also possible to root should you wish to go that route later down the road.

Just remember the old Defy is not IP67 certified.

ANY PHONE THEN A CASE FROM OTTERBOX;

It's the IP67 rating that the phones were being tested against in the supplement. Free with some contracts, too, apparently. Not an Android fan, but I can see real advantages to using this phone with something like Viewranger and a bar mount on a bike.
