Oh the Z3v is an excellent phone. It could handle anything I threw at it. The screen was excellent, the front-facing speakers were fantastic, and the waterproofing/dust-resistance was phenomenal. My only two gripes with the Z3v are the lack of cases and how fragile the body is. The back is made of tempered glass and I felt like I was going to break it. I work outside (I'm an archaeologist) and I'm always trevassing (is that a word?) rugged terrain and since there weren't much hard cases to choose from, I was afraid I was going to drop the phone and break it. I think I made the right choice in switching phones.
However, I may get the Lifeproof case for the Turbo just for to ease my mind a little bit.
Hope you use Bluetooth to talk. I have the life proof case and you can't hear anything if there's so much as a light breeze.
