cycling with phone?

[RobGAjax]

I am after an android phone to take on cycling training rides and on indoor trainer.

I have been using S3 (i9305 LTE version). But this needs a On-The-Go USB dongle to connect to my bike sensors, runs out of battery quickly when using GPS and occasionally shakes out its SIM due to vibration.

Things im looking for are:

1. Battery life (I do 6hr+ rides with gps on).
2. ANT+ connectivity
3. Vibration resistant (my S3 keeps disconnecting the SIM due to vibration when I mount it to the bars)
4. Water resistant / proof (not essential)
5. Decent screen

I looked at S5 but im not convinced.... Is the M8 suitable???

Any suggestions?

The M8 does have a great battery life, an amazing screen, and the SIM is well seated. The device is not water proof, and you can read more about the ANT+ compatibility here:
