Unfortunately the other "consumer" rugged phones (Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, the Motorola and Casio rugged phones are not really available in Europe) are just weaker, semi-rugged ones, like the SE C702]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kobaljov]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 29th 2010 5:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces rugged Xcover handset with 67-day standby time]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-announces-rugged-xcover-handset-with-67-day-standby-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-announces-rugged-xcover-handset-with-67-day-standby-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is it bad that I like this simple little phone?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Don]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 30th 2010 11:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Samsung announces rugged Xcover handset with 67-day standby time]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-announces-rugged-xcover-handset-with-67-day-standby-time/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/29/samsung-announces-rugged-xcover-handset-with-67-day-standby-time/</guid><description><![CDATA[I love it, I think it's great.  I gave up my iPhone and went back to a normal phone.  My only complaint is that I can't take it out in the rain and I'm afraid to talk to it while biking for fear of dropping it.  This phone should solve those problems, and hopefully have quad band so I can use it internationally.  I'm sold, $100 for a forever phone is a steal!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dan]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 1st 2010 11:30AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
