It's a toned down version of the Galaxy S3 processor but makes up for it with its durability (water proof, crush proof, shock proof, etc....)

Taking a really good at the Nexus phones. Just haven't actually seen one in person.

Stuck with using Telus sadly, as where I work has zero signal for any other phone company. They own virtually all the towers outside of the cities in Western Canada.

Seconding this. When a ruggedized option is available that meets all your other criteria, take it.

Buy unlocked and roam wherever you want.

not sure if someone touched on this. but you should ask carrier if the phone you get will have change able sim card. so that way you do not get charged off network. most company's are tied to another one in another country where they all you change sim card so you get no extra charge for making phone calls you just pay small fee to use it. that way you can have your cell phone any where your at. what type of phone should way in if you can use other place with new sim card from another country.

Telus = koodo. Same company uses the same towers and frequency. I would go with koodo if I were you. Better rates and you get the s2x for cheap. Not to mention no long distance charges. Just order it online. They ship to your door.

Get a Nokia Lumia. Best phones around for sure. I'm looking forward to getting mine next month.

These exact reasons are why I love Koodo's service
