Even if it was called Rugby, the new Samsung A837 released earlier this month, is not a portable fitness assistant like Samsung MyCoach, and instead it was designed with ruggedness in mind and optimized for tough working or trip environments.



It features the Push-to-Talk technology allowing you to instantly get in touch with a group of persons, in a similar way with walkie-talkies, and it also speeds up your Internet connectivity with the 3G technology. In addition, it integrates a large external speaker for music or loud sounds when there is noise in the background, as well as Multiple Messaging, Bluetooth wireless short-range connectivity, and the AT&T Navigator for GPS turn-by-turn directions.



Rugby didn’t benefit from a large marketing campaign because it was released in the same month when it was announced, but we’re curious to find out what will happen from now on, if it’ll get your attention more or less.



Other features include a 1-inch external monochrome display, an internal 256K-color TFT LCD, 20MB memory, microSD card slot, USB 2.0 connectivity, email, web access, built-in 1.3MP camera, AGPS, MP3 player, speakerphone and other standard tools.



A Li-Ion 1000 mAh battery ensures up to 5 hours of talk time and up to 250 hours of standby.
