Is that the bushcrafty version of "Will it blend?"?

Just bought a Samsung 2710, waterproof, dust proof, and all the goodies, like a compass, pedometer, GPS,and a huge battery life.

Hope its as good as they say it is

See the reply below Lab, I wanted a Sonim, either the Landrover S1 or the XP3, but I understand they are having issues at the moment, so I will use this until they sort themselves out

I've got a couple of B2100s for work, and yes they are pretty much indestructable. I'm thinking of having one instead of my Iphone!!!

Be carefull i had 2 landrover phones are they are utter rubbish !!

Thanks for the heads up Lab, I know that there are major issues with the battery life and poor sound, so I opted for the cheaper Sammy instead. I will not go near a Landrover phone( Sonim) until we get the all clear. and that might be a while... if ever!!!

Its a two way radio, you need a compatible device to make it work, as ya can't chat to yourself... not without getting strange looks anyway.

Mines on its way. I cant wait to drop it into the sink, see if it really is waterproof/floats.

I have a boost mobile i use when over visiting the fiancee, push to talk is as Paddle suggested a two way radio. Normally it`ll cost ya 1$ to use for whole day with unlimited push to talk callers/time. Depends on if your phone contract allows it for free, would be awesome to have it on our phones, would make it cost much cheaper
