Good thing it does have its fair share of specifications and features that redeem itself – including GPS functionality, and the main advantage would be it being a tough and durable puppy. Sure, it does not have IP67 certification, but at least it is tougher than what most phones are these days. The downside? Scaled down specifications, such as a 2″ display at just 176 x 220 pixels, an external monochrome display, a basic 1.3-megapixel camera, a web browser, social networking clients, and a 1000mAh battery.
It can be purchased online from Verizon today, while those who prefer to pick it up from brick and mortar stores will need to wait until August 18th. It’s free as long as you agree to a 2-year contract.
