Don't get your hopes up.

I bought this phone for its rugged specifications. I'm an active person (firefighter) and I thought I'd like some additional protection. The specs are nothing more than window dressing. The phone got wet, admittedly immersed, and failed.

When warranty work was sought, Samsung simply voided the warranty for the reason of "moisture."

Pros

Cons

Heavy and bulky. You give up the nice feel and light weight for what is supposed to be a rugged phone. The phone doesn't deliver and neither does the factory.

Pros

nice size phone. Easy to see the screen inside. Fits nice in bigger hands.

Cons

I purchased the Samsung Rugby because of the durability. I am really hard on a phone as with everything else I own. Of course I dropped it in the toilet accidentilly and after some major disinffecting it was still working great. I work on cars a lot and accidentally ran over this great phone with the passenger front tire of a 2500 diesel dodge truck and not a single scratch the phone just will not die, thank you god!!! It is about time that their is a phone that can stand my torture..

Pros

virtually indestructable, PTT works great, withstands moisture
large keys

Cons

only nice color is yellow
