In reply to subtle:
I've had Cycliq 6 on the rear for years. My observation is that reliability is not a strong suit - the first one's batteries gave up the ghost and were non-replaceable without getting very busy DIY. The second one has just stopped and Cycliq can't/won't help as it's out of warranty. This is rather frustrating as it seems the problem is software/firmware rather than physical. I hear the 3rd generation doesn't keep water our too well, but that's hearsay.
I did get a replacement for a series 2 - I had a pannier rack mount - there was a mishap and all the lugs broke off the camera rather than the mount - my argument was that the £5 mount should let go before the £200 camera. It was just out of warranty, but they did agree.
So I'm now in the market for another - I can't think of a better alternative, but I do wonder how exposure light can juts keep on going and these don't.
On the front - I've now got a Chilli Tech camera. OK - mount's a bit wobbly, but will try soon with a better mount. Price OK - I struggle with Go-pro prices on a commuter bike.
finally, as above - the phone connections just are not worth the hassle
