They are all terrible! Best thing you could do is get an old nokia, something like the 5110 (?), or put it in truck in morning and leave it there till home time!

The Nokia 3720 Classis is quite rugged.

Had to google it to see what phone that is:confused1:

 

And discovered that it's the one I've been using now for over a year - which must be a record.

 

Not very trendy, has very few features, camera lense scratched, screen also, but the most important feature is that it make good calls, which are clear and the ring tone and vibrate are strong.

 

So if you want a pouncey, girly, shinny gadget rich machine get something else.

If you want a durable phone get the Samsung extreme b2100:thumbup:

 

Nearly forgot - if your ideal combination is a durable phone with a great torch then "Jackpot"

I've got the nokia 3720 for 14 months and had no problems with it, fits nicely into my side trouser leg pocket, gets sawdust in the little sockets but a blow with the airline sorts that

i have one of these for work

 

Phone Product Detail - Nokia 2220 Slide Black

 

for 30 squid its easy enough to replace

 

i have an iphone too for personal stuff, ive had 6 iphones, never broken one (touch wood)! had a few in warranty replacements. ive ven dropped it out the tree deliberately onto some woodchip and its been fine! dont use any cases, just an inviisbleshield!

 

i find nokias, any model, are fairly bombproof!

I've got the Samsung Solid Extreme too, as well as at least 50% of all people I know who work in outdoor work requiring a tough phone. It's really really good, with excellent signal and the torch is superb. I even accidently mashed it in the car door, and the only thing it did was break the waterproof seal. Highly recommended!
