James picked up a story the other day on a new Nokia device (with no model number at the time) that was getting some harsh treatment in a video (check his post here).
Well now the ‘mystery’ regarding the name is solved – it’s the 3720 Classic.
Dailymobile.se has not only found out the name, but has got hold of the specs too:
- Water and dust resistant – ip54 certificate
- Over 2.5 weeks stand by battery
- Fm radio
- Torch
- S40
- 2,2QVGA 16mio colours
- 25MB internal memory
- MicroSD card slot
- Bluetooth
- 3.2 mpix camera
- Available september
That all seems reasonable enough – but the thing I am most interested in is the ip54 cert – that has now become the gold standard for ruggedized phones. So Nokia, if you’d like to seed us one for destruction, we’ll put it up against our other rugged devices – and see which comes out on top!

Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas! He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to 'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device) isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question of why you continue to use it... His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
