rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted February 26, 2013 Cat B15 is One Tough Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Smartphone Source BARCELONA, Spain--Caterpillar (yes, the same Cat of industrial forklifts, tractors, and mining equipment) has announced its latest rugged smartphone, the Cat B15. Rocking Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, a grooved back, and hard angles, the Cat B15 is aimed for construction and industrial workers. It's waterproof up to 1 meter in depth for 30 minutes, and is dust-proof, both standard requirements for durable phones (specification class: iP67). Rough 'n' tumble, Cat says the B15 can operate in temperatures from -20 to 55 degrees Celsius (-4 to 131 degrees Fahrenheit) and can withstand up to 6-foot drops (1.8 meters). The B15 features a 4-inch touch screen that's capable of sensing your taps and swipes when wet. Gorilla Glass tops the display. Internally, a 1GHz dual-core processor runs the show. A 5-megapixel camera and VGA front-facing camera handle your photography and video capturing, and a continuous shooting mode is one extra. You'll also find an FM radio preinstalled. You'll only find 4GB in internal storage, but a microSD card slot lets you expand to 32GB. A 3G, GSM phone, the B15 stands 4.9 inches tall by 2.7 inches wide by 0.6 inch deep and weighs a hefty 6 ounces. A burly 2,000mAh battery promises to keep talk time going for 16.3 hours.

dkaile 1,051 Report post Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) 100$ Waterproof upto 30 minutes in 1 metre of water. US Army Spec. Although it's just a flip phone, it meets the US military's 810G specs for dust, shock, temperature and water resistance, all of which help it survive a rough workplace or an accidental splash at the beach. That and a loud speakerphone are the real highlights, although you will get microSD support and a 3.2-megapixel camera for your trouble. Do the math before you pick up a DuraPro in-store on February 28th, though. At $100 on contract after a $50 rebate, it's carrying smartphone-level pricing that could steer some buyers away from its retro rugged chic. U.S. CELLULAR TO LAUNCH THE RUGGED KYOCERA DURAPRO Will be available online February 27 and in stores February 28 CHICAGO & SAN DIEGO (February 25, 2013) – U.S. Cellular (NYSE: USM) and Kyocera Communications Inc. have announced the launch of the Kyocera DuraPro.

It can be immersed for up to 30 minutes in up to one meter of water and comes with essential apps including, email, a web browser and navigation. Those features, along with a 3.2 megapixel camera, large keypad and powerful speakerphone, make the DuraPro a practical and reliable choice for consumers and business customers who need a device that can withstand harsh elements."For those who work and play outdoors in varying weather and climates, the Kyocera DuraPro is an ideal device to help you stay connected to people and information wherever you are," said Edward Perez, vice president of sales and marketing operations for U.S. Cellular.

U.S. Cellular business customers and consumers who purchase this device also receive benefits no other carrier offers, including a valuable rewards program that recognizes customer loyalty."There's still very strong demand for a solid feature phone, and feature phones don't come any more solid than the DuraPro," said Eric Anderson, senior vice president and general manager of global sales and marketing at Kyocera Communications. "The rugged durability of this device and U.S. Cellular's fantastic customer loyalty program combine for a wireless solution that will be with you for the long run."Additional Features: * In addition to water, vibrations and dust, DuraPro is engineered to meet Military Standard 810G for temperature extremes, blowing rain, low pressure, solar radiation, salt fog and humidity* Expandable memory – up to 32GB with optional microSD card* Large font option for menus Source: US Cellular http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/26/kyocera-durapro-keeps-the-rugged-flip-phone-alive-on-us-cellular/ Edited February 26, 2013 by dkaile 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
