I'm agreed with suan which all tough phone should be. In additional it nice to have a solar panel to recharge battery when I going travel.
Second things is a compass and detail map able to download before travel which can used without coverage line & GPS.
Third, Emergency all without boundry i.e. when I travel from Malaysia to Somalia, I had an emergencies number to call without change the line.
forth, setting to higher pixel for camera is very usefull when i want to take any evidences in my travel.
Don't hestate to ask a right travellers to get an idea. Please make a better phones in future or you at the same level as many manufacturers doing the same thing - bored.

Motorola defy is 100 times better than this ugly crap. Defy and defy+ has display resolution higher than galaxy sII.

The real world comes with rain and dust, even in cities. IP67 should be a minimum requirement for ANY mobile device.

There are problems with 'rugged' phones, first has to be the mapping with GPS, they really need onboard maps especially if you are away from any network coverage, requiring connection for Google maps for example is silly if they are designed for outdoors, though a proper map is really essential, though too many people these days rely on phone mapping.
Secondly is the problem that smart phones do not tend to have antenna that are as good as dumb phones due to lack of space within phone chassis.
then you have the problem with touchscreens and gloves, maybe a nice little extra to be packed with smartphones is a pin/badge that can go through a glove finger tip to allow phone usage whilst wearing gloves with buying special gloves.
A solar panel for trickle charging might be a good idea too, it's not like there is a power supply attached to every tree for instant recharge.

Ruggedness aside, it offers a 3.2" HVGA display with tempered Gorilla Glass for maximum protection and durability.
Display: 3.65" 16M-color TFT capacitive touchscreen, Gorilla Glass scratch-resistant display, 320 x 480 pixels resolution.
make your mind!

I want to see the phone like this with Galaxy SII specs. Even though the price would goes actually high, someone would pay for that price.

The Defy+ wins in this round for tough phones. WVGA, 1GHz processor. (But comes cursed with the ugly Motoblur, of course...)

How can this compete with the Defy/Defy+?? Not even a WVGA screen compared to Defy's FWVGA (480x845) sheesh!
And the pre-release unit isn't even water proof! hahah! nice try Samsung!
