First Look: Samsung Rugby SGH-a837, mobile phone

continued from previous post...A tiny screen on the outside of the case can display the date and time while also showing you the amount of battery charge remaining. Although this screen remains exposed, it appears made out of scratch-resistant plastic that won’t likely crack or break except through extreme pressure.

If you really want to see how tough this phone can be, check out this video of the phone getting tossed in a pond of muddy water, dropped on the ground, catapulted into the air, shot against a wall with a slingshot, and dunked in water and still working after so much physical abuse.

This phone only weighs 4.66 ounces and takes up little space when folded close (3.95 inches tall, 2.05 inches wide, and 0.90 inches thick). A lithium ion battery provides up to 5 talk time or up to 250 hours standby time.

Beyond its rugged exterior case, this product also offers a Push to Talk (PTT) feature, which lets you check who is available before you call them. Once you find out who is available, you can contact those people individually or as a group. PTT incurs additional charges, but you can convert a PTT call to a regular cellular call at any time.

"Its durability is really great!."
