Bookmark topic
My friend is going around the world and to remote areas so I want to give him a rugged phone as a gift. You know, one of those phones that you can drop and get dirty without any problems.
I know Nokia used to make one and SE made one nicknamed "the shark".
Is there a new one? Anyone you recommend?
I'm in a hurry!

thats a better idea, r310's will take alot more punishment than a 5140!

yes absolutely i agree i would go with the unique legendary shark fin R310 !!
The R310 has actually been blast tested aswell and it survived...so you wont get a more durable phone than this.
