hello everybody its Linn law from CNET bringing you guys the ultra rugged Kyocera dura XT by Sprint this clamshell phone basically looks and is designed to withstand practically anything safe for the apocalypse obviously it's not designed for your everyday consumer but rather for those working in tough environments like field operators and construction workers it's rubber build keeps it steady against everyday bumps and scratches whether accidental or otherwise it's dust proof and shockproof and also water resistant and can be dunked to the meter underwater for up to 30 minutes inside you'll see the handset is powered by a 1360 milliampere hour battery which roughly translates to about eight hours of reported talktime it also has a microSD slot that's expandable up to 32 gigabytes it has a two-inch QVGA display along with an external display here on the back there's a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash the Douro xt also comes with Sprint's push-to-talk service which puts you in direct connection with other push-to-talk devices quickly via this button here now being a rugged phone there are a few things to consider one it weighs about five point three ounces so it's not the lightest thing on the market - it comes with a 2.5 millimeter headphone jack which is good for PTT headsets and not so good for your standard pair of headphones you probably have at home lastly the specs are low the camera is obviously not that stellar but it gets the job done whether you work in a rough environment or lead a swashbuckling enough lifestyle to marry a rugged phone the dura XT sticker price goes for about 270 dollars but if you sign a two-year contract with Sprint and send in a mail-in rebate that will get you down to about $70 again I'm Lynn bringing you guys the Kyocera dura XT by Sprint you
