Unfortunately in Japan, these are now nowhere to be seen after the demise of Casio's two G-shock phones from Au and a poorly implemented Japan Radio handset from Docomo two years ago.

What happened to these phone?

Well, I'd wager cell phone providers realized that they wouldn't sell many replacement phones to people whose phones didn't crap out because of water or droppage. Absolutely lame, but fairly predictable given the economics.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/
It would be very nice to have a phone and not be afraid to drop the thing. Even better if you can drop it to the shocked looks of people nearby and simply pick it up from the floor and keep on talking. I've seen too many people drop phones by accident and have to scramble to pick up the pieces and try to put things back together.]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/Dec 19th 2005 1:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/http://www.engadget.com/2005/03/09/siemens-intros-rugged-m75-for-the-wired-outdoorsy-types/
Reality check, those who actually do go to the wilderness GSM is about as useless as the "office moneky's" pickup attempt!

CDMA or don't waste our time Siemens!

What a phone for the outdoors get something that works in the outdoors (CDMA or SAT) and stick it in a dry bag (until seimens & co give us a CDMA phone for the "RUGGED OUTDOORSY TYPE".]]>Dec 19th 2005 1:22AM
