He's also the one who talked me out of the Droid because he said the jostling on the bike would be detrimental. Turns out my step-daughter has dropped hers many times & it keeps works. Who knows?
I carry my iPhone in my bento box all the time, never had a problem. Plus, I dropped that thing 100x as well... but I have a good cover... no problems.

To the OP... it's a toss up. I have a super sweet Garmin that I don't use Why?, because the battery life sucks on it. If I don't charge it the night or day before, it's not good. Plus I can't use it on out of town trips where we need to camp, etc... cause I can't count on having a charge near by. I don't have a droid, but I have an iPhone and I think I would go for the phone.

I never thought I would say this since I paid like $300.00 for my Garmin... but you know, my $50.00 cateye does the job as well... and is the computer that is currently on my bike... never needs a charge and is always ready when I am
