Did you turn up the backlight to max? The Vertica/Avier has an LCD screen made by a Korean outfit who specialise in sunlight readable screens. Good backlights and anti glare screen. Best portable device I've ever seen by a fair margin. Only way to tell if your portable device is good in sunlight is to try it. I have a very cheap NZ$39 Vodafone (including NZ$20 worth of calls and data including 100 minutes to any NZ or Australian number and 500 Mb of data) is actually pretty good in sunlight.)
Not surprised the iPhone was poor. My iPad mini is a miserable PoS in lots of ways? Only reason I've got it is to run OzRunways/Avplan. Maybe the Avplan guys will port the full featured thing to Android soon and I can pitch it.
