Samsung launch Water and Drop Resistant GT-B2700

Samsung is launching GT-B2700, that is certified to be resistant to water and dust. The idea seems to tackle this relatively under-served market and offer quite stylish (for a rugged device) phone.

According to unwiredview, Samsung’s strategy is to launch phones in a market that has been rather underserved or neglected by the mobile phone industry.

As for the specs, don’t expect the high-end features of a modern smartphone. The B2700 packs quad-band GSM/GPRS + EDGE radio, 1.9-inch 176×220 pixels screen, FM radio, Bluetooth 2.0, built-in compass and altimeter, music player, 1300 mAh battery, 30 MB of internal memory, and a microSD memory slot. It measures 115×52×18 mm. The B2700 will be sold at the end of the summer in Czechoslovakia for 5000 crowns (about $330 US).
