Samsung Rugby III is like stepping into a time warp

The front of the RIII houses a large speaker grill and the secondary screen. The speaker grill is the one aspect of the RIII's design that I just don't like. Samsung could have picked a more attractive grill. The secondary screen is used chiefly for notifications and serves as a clock. There are two buttons that run along the left side: a dedicated PTT key and the volume toggle. Both jut from the side of the RIII, making them impossible to miss with your thumb. Travel and feedback of these buttons is outstanding. They each present a satisfying "click" when pressed.

There is a dedicated speakerphone button on the RIII's right edge, in addition to the microUSB port. The speakerphone button is flush with the side surface, making it more difficult to find in a hurry. Travel is good, though. The microUSB port is hidden under a small hatch. The hatch is no trouble to peel back. One complaint: though I totally understand that the RIII is in no way a media device, the RIII doesn't have a headset jack, neither 2.5mm nor 3.5mm. Instead, it ships with an adapter that plugs into the microUSB port. (Remember what I said about the RIII's 2003 design? Yeah, Samsung brought forward some of its worst design choices with this adapter thing.)

The flip mechanism is spring-loaded, so the top half will jump once you open the flip about half way. buy meizu mx3 The hinge is smooth, solid, and strong. It doesn't wiggle at all, and has good action. The top half is nearly all display, while the bottom half is where the business end of the RIII is.
