The world of mobile phones got a little more rugged at the Consumer Electronics Show this week as Motorola unveiled a new tough cell phone to be made available through AT&T. It is called the Tundra and it prices around $200 when it hits retail January 13.
The Motorola Tundra is a rugged 3G clamshell mobile which meets tough military standards for drop, dust, vibration, humidity, severe temperatures and rain. It includes the ability to do push to talk communications with others and works with AT&T’s Navigator location direction service.
Other features of the Tundra include voice activation, a two-megapixel digital camera, up to 4GB of optional removable memory, Bluetooth and a multi-task operating system. AT&T feels this phone will fit the needs of contractors, outdoorsy folk and even the occasional destructive teenager.

I ported my number over to AT&T and wanted a rugged phone. The phone is operated in the SE Michigan area. I chose the Tundra by Motorola because it closely resembled my old nextel phone. Some of Motorola’s flip phones can take a serious beating. I need this phone to be able to take just that as I work outside allot. I had this phone for just about a week and took it back to exchange it for another Tundra. I wanted to give Motorola the benefit of the doubt. While in a call, the volume just isn’t very loud, even at the loudest setting (7).
PRO’S: Great construction, very rugged. Battery life was great, one charge for four days and that included a couple of hours of talk time.
