First Smart Phone. Love it.
13 years ago
This is my first smart phone. I am having a blast. Still lots to learn but enjoying the process. Got the rugby because I have had two generations of the original Rugby. Tough phones. Both still work. Use them for replacements when one of my children lose or break theirs. They do not have rugbys. Not into flips. My wife got the phone also. Her first smart phone. Having fun with it.

Less than a month ago I replaced my Samsung Galaxy S (yes, the first generation) with the Rugby Pro. And I wish I had not. Fine, the Rugby is way faster than the Galaxy S, but the latter is also more than 2 years old.
From an outdoors-y phone I expect a better screen. My old one had the Gorilla Glass from Corning and there were only a few minor scratches after the 2 years. With the current phone it took less than a week and the screen broke after sliding of my backpack onto the pavement (a drop of 5 inches). Also, the grip is awful. I had an extra casing for the old phone which was fine since it was still flat. The Rugby already is quite bulky and a case would make it worse, though it needs it - the back cover is very "slippery" (hence the sliding of my pack). Now it also takes ages to recharge; it lasted quite a while when fully charged though.
All in all, I am lucky that I only needed to replace the battery of my old phone (got too hot e few weeks ago). I purchased the Rugby since it is one of the few that still has a manageable display size - if I want a bigger display I would by a tablet. So I am back to using my old Galaxy S.
