At the end of January, we talked about the Samsung B2100 handset. The rugged candybar is now officially official and it’s designed for those living on the edge. And by “edge” we mean that the B2100 aka Xplorer has an IP57 certificate protection, which means it can be accidentally dropped in water and left there for about 30 minutes, after which it should continue working like nothing happened. In addition, the Xplorer can resits temperature shocks, blowing rain and salt fog.
As for the other specs, there’s a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM/GPRS/EDGE radio on board, 1.77-inch 120×160 pixels screen, music player, Bluetooth, and a microSD memory card slot. Size wise, the Xplorer measures 113×48.9×17.4 mm, and has a weight of 103 grams.
Pricing was not unveiled, but we know that starting from April it will be available in Germany and other European countries…

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.
