Samsung Rugby A837 Phone, Black (AT&T)






Got this phone due to having others drop and suffer damage. I read every review I could find online. Some people said and are correct that the PTT button on side is easy to press-it is but you learn to pretty much stay away from it. The speaker on front of phone is BY FAR the best I've ever heard. Once you answer or start a call you can activate the speaker and close the phone and enjoy the hands free-great in vehicle or if doing a project. I drive a diesel work truck and have NO problems hearing the speaker on this phone. The camera for a 1.3 mega pixel actually takes better pics than I expected. I have not activated the GPS since I have one and I think the $9.99 a month is too much for how often I'd use it. The buttons have a very good feel. I've already woked out in the rain and the phone got very wet-still woks No problems. The ringtones that come on the phone are probably the worst I've had yet. I use phonezoo.com (FREE) to download graphics and ringtones to phones now. Its a great free site. The call quality is very good. My wife says it is ALOT better than my previous Sony and my last Motorola. This is my first flip-phone that I've had and kept- I tried one a few years ago, it was to thin and I just couldn't open it very easily w/ one hand. That is no problem on this phone. It is a little thicker than most flips, but that has to due to its ruggedness. I would give this 5 stars if not for the fact as many other reviewers say about the front display not staying on very long. Kind of petty but I feel it is a legitimate gripe. I have not taken any videos yet so I can't comment on that. Also, want to mention that if you have alot of experience w/ different brands of phones, you probably don't need to open the manual. I have not yet and I had the phone figured out very quickly.
