AT&T today launched the Samsung Rugby, its first military-spec device and only rugged handset to combine push-to-talk (PTT) with video share calling.
Ideal for on-site field services, the Rugby is built to withstand harsh conditions. It is certified to Military Standard MI-SID-810F, withstanding dust, shock vibrations, rain, humidity, solar radiation and altitude and temperature extremes. The quad-band device runs on AT&T's high-speed HSDPA 3G network. Bluetooth 2.0 technology provides wireless short-range data transfer. Assisted-GPS technology (A-GPS) offers AT&T Navigator for turn-by-turn, voice-guided driving directions, 3D moving maps, real-time traffic alerts and access to over 16 million points of interest. The Rugby integrates a 2.0-inch LCD, 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, AT&T Music and Mobile TV service for multimedia, and access to email, instant messaging and Internet services. The Samsung Rugby is available in stores and online for $130 with a new two-year agreement and $50 mail-in rebate. - Samsung Rugby Specs
