Samsung is out with yet another South Korea-only device called Anycall Extreme (SPH-W9705). As you can guess from its name, it’s a sporty-lookin’ rugged device made from reinforced plastic that helps saving it from accidental damages. Moreover, we’re talking about an IP54 dust and water certified phone that can work in extremely low and/or high temperatures.
In addition, this clamshell integrates electronic compass, altimeter and SOS function. KT will sell the Samsung Anycall Extreme for 400,000 won, which is about $354.
Speaking of rugged handsets, it’s not usual that we see such phones being offered by Samsung. Is this a part of the company’s goal to extend its market and reach customers who may’ve been looking for something different? In that sense, should we expect to see more similar Samsung products released in the near future? It’s hard to tell at this moment, but we know one thing – Samsung is one smart company with ambitious plans. We’ll certainly keep watching for any news coming out from Korean peninsula…

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.
