Mobile phones with indestructible nature are made for people who work in noisy or dusty environment, so they are usually not equipped with super features such as 8MP camera, 528mhz frequency, or 8GB memory, etc. With a dimension of 3.9x2.4x0.6inches, the Samsung A657 is a new member of Samsung tough series phone. It has many conflicting features especially in terms of its exterior design and built. Classic candy-bar shape, the rubbery exterior, delicate coating and rubber grips with strong built quality, required with military standard, make it a phone resistant against dust and shock, holding on under extreme temperatures and vibration, not only for plumbers, but also for commandos!

As for the functionality, it doesn’t pale at all compared to its incredible built quality. The Samsung A657 is a Tri-Band phone with HSDPA ability, as well as a quad-band EDGE radios inside. A 3MP camera with smile detection function is equipped and it will surely be enough for casual shot. What’s more, Bluetooth connectivity, built in GPS satellite navigation and a music player are also packed into this handset.

It seems that tough phones are getting smarter and smarter. The Samsung A657 adopted Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, and the memory of this phone is also excellent compared with many other phones in this class – 128MB RAM, 256MB ROM, and up to 8GB of additional memory.
