Some snaps and specs of an upcoming rugged Samsung handset, the B2100, have surfaced. We’re expecting to see this shown off at the Mobile World Congress, which is rapidly approaching. In addition handling dust, dirt, shock, and water up to a meter deep for 30 minutes, the Niagara will also have some great speakerphone options, including a second mic on top, ambient noise filter and programmable vibration profiles so you know who’s calling without needing to hear. The 1.77″ 120 × 160 screen isn’t what you’d call awesome, nor is the 1.3 megapixel camera, but hey, this thing looks tough as nails. Other specs include:
- 113 × 49 × 17.5 mm
- FM radio
- GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900
- Bluetooth, USB
- 10 MB internal, plus microSD
- 1000 mAh battery
- Available in black, green and red
Not a bad little package at all, especially for $120. We’ll have to keep an eye out for it at MWC…
