Military Standard 810F defines strict performance parameters for dust, shock, and vibration tolerance. And guess what? The Sanyo SCP-7050 is the world’s first cell phone to meet those strict requirements. With a rugged shell and robust internals, this phone is geared more towards the construction and maintenance fields than the battlefields.
With built-in GPS, location data can be retrieved even when the phone’s CDMA radio is turned off. And features like 4.4 hours of talk time, bluetooth, and Java MVM allow this ultra-rugged device a good range of connectivity options. Another nice little feature is the ability to easily restore contacts if your phone is lost or stolen.
A two-year lockdown agreement with Sprint will get you the Sanyo SCP-7050 for around $150.
