2012-03-26
hello everybody I'm Lynne from Cena here to show you guys the Kyocera dura plus from Sprint now as you can see this is a rugged phone built to satisfy military specs meaning it's dust shock and splash proof it can be fully immersed in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes also for anyone working in low-light conditions like if you're an emergency responder or a field operator the device has an extremely bright LED flashlight built-in it also has sprint Direct Connect which is a push-to-talk feature that can work with any direct connect subscriber which can be a pretty useful pink eagle two blue Thunder the target has acquired my cookies over when it's okay just give him the cookie no it's not okay it's just well for today and you know my name is pink eagle over now I know that as a rugged phone you have to stick with certain aesthetic limitations but there are tough phones out there that don't look this konkey like the Samsung and rugby smart although that device may not be as tough as a dura plus it definitely looks a lot better in addition to looking like a rubber brick the dura plus is heavy it weighs about six point six seven ounces and is nearly an inch thick you can barely put it in your jean pocket and I really can't imagine someone using this as their day-to-day phone furthermore there's no camera no microsd slot for storage purposes and instead of a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack it has a headset jack instead if you're interested the phone will cost you 60 $9.99 after you send in a $50 mail-in rebate and sign a two-year contract again i'm lynn from CNET bringing you guys the Kyocera durham plus
