I didn't notice any noticeable difference between the three phones in
terms of performance and accuracy besides battery life.

As mentioned in the spreadsheet, All 3 phones had trouble at times
obtaining a GPS fix on some occasions. Sometimes, able to retrieve fix
within 10 seconds, other times, unable to receive fix after 20+
minutes outdoors). Downloading and Clearing AGPS (REQUIRES internet
connection) every 3-4 days greatly, and reliably, enhanced ability to
retrieve GPS Fix). An earlier discussion on this mailing list  by
Brian Wolford http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/hot/2012-March/001581.html
mentioned this and shared one solution - changing the NTP server.
Unfortunately, I didn't find this out until I had already returned
from our mission in Sénégal. The location of NTP server could have
been the cause for our problems, but this requires further testing to
determine.

-will.
