Rather than hijack into the "survival tablet" thread, I would like to inquire as to a good phone to acquire, considering that it will be used outdoors a lot, and potentially for 'survival" purposes. I am sure I will make good use of the camera function, and probably GPS as well. A definite fan and long time committed user of paper maps, it might as well be time to consider the electronic versions.

As long as I am asking, what apps would you recommend?

The reason I am asking is that I found that my Galaxy SIII did not respond well to a salt water dunking - it doesn't want to take pictures anymore.

I find the comparison of a smartphone to a multitool very appropriate, and I am a fan of MT's.

Thanks in advance for your responses and for helping to drag me kicking and screaming into the expanding electronic age...
