$150.00
Released August, 2010
The Pros:Ruggedized build - up to military specifications. Push-to-talk functionality. Based on the open source Android platform - full smartphone functionality.
The Cons:Giant display is difficult to keep protected, worrisome for those reliant on the device's durability. Based on iDEN, no 3G - extremely slow network connectivity. Older Android (1.5) whereas newer high end phones are already coming with 2.0 / 2.1.
