I have the GS3. That is a phone for modern man. This phone here is meant for a man who lives in the stone age. SO OLD. Just a basic flip phone and nothing more. But the basics (Call quality & Reception are good and the battery lasts forever).

I originally had the Rugby 1 and took it down float trips and the river. When it was time for a upgrade i went with the Rugby 2. The only problem i have had with it is the battery cover was cheaply designed unlike the first Rugby. My battery does great until i get into a area with no signal then it drains it.

Our company recently completed a mass upgrade of all field technician phones to the new Samsung Rugby 2 - approximately 400 units. We have had major issues from the start. Dropped calls, poor reception, defective speaker, poor battery life, inability to hold a charge, inability to receive text messages, etc. We are very unhappy with this product and would not recommend it. It has gotten to the point in which Samsung has had to recall the units and replace them with a new batch. Our next upgrade will not include any product from Samsung.
