When looking for a cell phone that looks good, you cannot dare to think about a rugged cell phone, because, usually, such devices aren’t focused on style and design. In the given context, the brand new Samsung a657 recently introduced by AT&T in its line-up is most certainly the perfect choice for you.



Yes, you guessed it right, the a657 is a rugged handset that was “built to withstand the harshest conditions and most demanding users”. Maybe you remember the latest rugged phone released by the South Korean company, called Rugby a837. Well, similar to this one, the a657 is equipped with Push to Talk capabilities (also known as PTT). However, the main difference consists of the fact that a657 is a candybar.



As for the features, it comes with the following list on board: quad band GSM/GPRS/EDGE connectivity (850/900/1800/1900 MHz), dual band UMTS/HSDPA connectivity (850/1900 MHz), a display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels and 264K colors, Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 connectivity, email and Instant Messaging, AT&T Navigator which comes with a dedicated GPS key), an integrated flashlight, an internal memory of 100 MB and microSD card slot for expandable memory of no more than 16 GB.



The new Samsung rugged cell phone measures 4.53 x 2.05 x 0.77 inches and weighs 4.34 ounces, providing up to 3 hours of talk time and up to 10.5 days of stand-by time.

Even if the Samsung a657 can’ be purchased for the moment, you can go make your first impression on AT&T’s official website, at the Business category.
