Samsung may have been thinking of a reliable, rugged phone worthy for military use and it looks like the Samsung SGH-a657 is the perfect fit. Built like a brick and shaped like one too, the SGH-a657 is one tough phone and it looks like it could take quite a few blows. It is certified to meet military specifications for dust, shock and vibration as well as heat and cold, which only means that it can handle anything you can dish out. It even has a built-in flashlight, just in case you drop the keys of your military vehicle along the way.
