Built for those with an active lifestyle, Samsung's B2700 is ready for anything you can throw it at. This handset has an anti-shock plastic case, making it resistant against both water and dust. The B2700 is also loaded with other neat features including Bluetooth, FM radio, a music player and a 2-megapixel camera.

The most prominent feature of the B2700 is the anti-shock feature. The coating has an IP54 rating against dust and water, meaning that while you can’t go swimming with it, it can stand being splashed and thrown around on the beach. The rubber-style design also means this phone is great to hold and use. 

As if the sturdy design wasn’t enough, the B2700 has a backpack load of features built with the outdoors type in mind. There is a torch on the top of the handset that has a dedicated ‘on’ and ‘off’ button on the right side of the phone. It also comes with an in-built pedometer, altimeter, as well as a compass. 

Often, designers of rugged handsets like these spend too much time on specialised features like torches and pedometers, and not enough time on phone usability. This is not the case with the Samsung B2700. The rubber keys are well spread out and easy to use, both for calling and menu navigation. The keys are also very responsive, with no lag time at all when scrolling through menus. The display is colourful and wonderfully simple to use, while call quality is excellent despite the tough casing.

To add to the package, the B2700 includes a music player, FM radio, Bluetooth with A2DP, a voice recorder and a load of games. While there is no 3.5mm headphone jack, the Samsung headset that comes in the box is sure to please the most adventurous of users.
