Samsung has unveiled a new member of its relatively young Xcover family of devices – Xcover 271 (B2710). The new phone is even tougher than its predecessor, E2370, and is apparently the first Samsung-made product with IP67 rating for being shock, dust and water resistant, and can work even after being submerged in the 1 meter deep water for up to 30 minutes.
Rest of the specs include 3G connectivity with video calling support, 2-inch screen, GPS with digital compass and pre-installed Google Maps, pedometer, FM radio, loudspeaker, large keypad, music player, 30MB of internal memory that can be further expanded with microSD cards. Additionally, it comes with a powerful battery that allows for the device to work for up to 19 hours in 2G or up to 7 hours in 3G talk/video talk mode.
Samsung Xcover 271 will again (like the E2370 model) hit Sweden first where interested users will be able to grab it for about 1,700 kronor ($241). That’s starting at some point in October of this year…

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.
