Samsung B2700 review: Tough and geared
Samsung may be flying high on INNOV8 but they sure have at least a toe on the ground. Just recently they spilled the low-to-mid-end bag, so we don’t forget a flagship is only as good as the fleet behind it. No handset in the handful they just...

Based on Merriam-Webster online:
pioneer: a person or group that originates or helps open up a new line of thought or activity or a new method or technical development
basically, the first. so, dont put Nokia with it. As its line of rugged phones came in yearrrrssss after Siemens released its first rugged mobile!
Rugged phones aint new to Siemens when Nokia released its remote-control-like 6250. ahahaha
Siemens is the best! The others need to rest! wahahahhaah!!!
peace! =D

guys,
it will be a cheap phone!
is nokia offering the same for 150 eur?
no! so nokia funboys, please keep you mouth shut!
since my nokia 5210 died, I cant find a phone which can be used as a 3rd phone to use it when we go off road of just to the beach!
it would be nice to have wifi and what ever, but for 150 eur it is more than great!

the title "pioneer" should go to the 10 years old Siemens S10 Active.
as far as i know, its the first rugged cellphone available.

it's about time they released rugged phone with 3G network support.
now, for 150 euro, i bet this phone will sell well.
i wish their next model will feature GPS and WiFi...

Wish that Samsung could make an upgrade model of this phone with GPS later.

Up until this moment, I was considering a Nokia E51 as an addition to my current ROKR E6. But reading the review of this phone, I am absolutely sold on it. Will get one as soon as I can lay hands on it. Rugged, durable, good display, voice clarity, loud ringing and speakerphone, EDGE and 3G, torchlight, good battery, good keypad... absolutely meets my requirements. I can live without Wi-fi, and HSDPA is still a long way off when I still don't have simple 3G here in India although it will be launched by about the end of this year. Just hope the price bracket quoted in the review is approximately correct. It would be a sweet spot indeed for this beauty...

I'm considering getting a second phone for personal use (currently have a Tytn II for work) and was considering the Nokia E71.
But now, strangely, I am drawn to this phone, despite its simplicity (vs smartphones in general). I guess it brings me back to the good old days when I was lusting after the Nokia 5210, one of the pioneers in the "rugged" phone business (together with the 6250 and the 5210's replacements, the 5410 and 5410i).
The B2700's straighforward nature, coupled with modern-day features (how far mobile phones have come!) is quite appealing. I just might get it once it hits our shores.

Not bad for a rugged phone. Is good for taking on a hike. If you attacked by bear you can even throw the phone at the bear!
