Nokia 3720 classic review: Handle without care

Nokia 3720 classic review: Handle without care - read the full textThe Nokia 3720 classic is putting on its boots, pulling on its anorak, slinging its rucksack over its shoulder and striding out into the unfriendliest of environments: water, dust, tough ground…you name it, this device promises to shrug it off...

the speaker did not die....the call ended see it for ur selves..and salt with water can damage any phone cuz salty water is very reactive to circuits

Nice torture test GSMArena! However, I wonder how this phone will behave on salty water. I mean, sea water or ocean water. Most phones cannot resist the salty waters based on different people's experiences. And according to some people's explanations(i don't know if it's true), sea water destructs or corrodes internal circuit boards and switches.
Probably, the nicest thing to do is to submerge it in the sea (while holding it of course) for about 15-20 minutes.

I guess my suggestion is more likely to happen in real life than your experiment of drowning it with a glass of beer.

I would still prefer Samsung B2100 over this Nokia, sorry but it looks cheap as all budget Nokias, nothing much. Screen, well, its not screen what makes rugged phones worthy ;)

Phones like this seriously make me wonder why phones like the N97 aren't sturdy...at all. I mean, if you can make the low-end phones near-indestrucable, why can't the high-end phones be the same?

i was wondering is this phone really WATER RESISTANT?
it looks too good for a phone to handle without care.. what might be the price of it?
thanks :)
