TechnoBuffalo - I’ve been using AT&T’s Samsung Rugby Smart for the past two weeks — at times as my primary device and at others as a secondary device that I’d carry around for the sake of my review. AT&T bills the Android phone as a life proof device that can withstand drops, scratches, salt fog (please, let us know where we can find salt fog), a drop into 3 meters of water for up to 30 minutes and much more. I’ve always been a huge fan of rugged phones — they allow you to operate where other phones fall flat (or simply break), and so I couldn’t wait to take the Rugby Smart for a spin down at the beach last weekend.
Engadget - Not every smartphone stakes its claim on speedy processors, huge gorgeous screens or slim and sexy physiques. Some take a relatively modest set of specs and add a little wrinkle to make them stand out from the crowd. The Samsung Rugby Smart is one such device. Though it adds Android to what we'll now refer to as the Rugby Dumb, we can already tell you this handset isn't for the spec snobs among you. But, if you're more concerned with durability and tank-like construction, you might want to stick around a while.
