Rogers Wireless has introduced a new phone for those with the active lifestyle – Motorola Extreme VA76r. Scrap that, the Moto device is designed to be the single survivor of a hostile invasion, or at least the “certified to military standard 810F for dust, drops, vibration, temperature extremes, and humidity” label suggests so.
Apparently, the VA76r can withstand high temperatures (from 10 to 55 Celsius degrees), falls from a distance of 48 inches, extreme precipitation rates (280 l/m2/hr, 9 m/s velocity for 15 minutes), as well as the most humid and dusty conditions. Other specs include 2.2-inch screen, HSDPA support, 2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom, memory card slot, web browser.
Want it or should I say – do you really need it? If so prepare to pour out $199.99 and sign a way-too-long three-year contract…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
