Samsung Rugby II SGH-A847 - black (AT&T) review: Samsung Rugby II SGH-A847 - black (AT&T)

 

Samsung Rugby II SGH-A847 - black (AT&T)

The Samsung Rugby II has a durable, comfortable design and a solid feature set. It builds on its predecessor by adding voice dialing and by performing better.

The Rugby II has a nonstandard headset jack and Samsung hides the memory card slot behind the phone's battery.

The Samsung Rugby II improves on its predecessor and delivers a functional, rugged phone with satisfying performance.

Samsung Rugby II SGH-A847 (AT&T)

 

This isn't really a messaging or Internet phone, but the Rugby II still has a few useful tricks. Fitness fans will like AllSport GPS, which acts as a portable trainer for cyclists and runners. AT&T Navigator offers voice-enabled, turn-by-turn...

Solid, rugged construction. Excellent voice quality. Loud speakerphone

Earpiece could be louder. Too much bloatware

The Samsung Rugby II is an excellent choice for voice-focused consumers, field workers and bargain hunters alike, with its excellent call quality and sensible pricing on AT&T.

Samsung Rugby II

 

The aptly named Samsung Rugby II (A847) is an update/refresh to the SGH-a837. Built to withstand shock, dust, rain, humidity, solar radiation, vibration and altitude and temperature extremes, it most definitely is rugged. Improvements over the SGH-a837...

Consumer review (cnet.com)

I am looking for a better flip phone

 

The phone is a nice size. It is compact and lightweight fits good into pocket. Has a ribbed type case so it's not slick, easy to hold without dropping. Biggest problem is the battery life. I have to charge it every other day, or I won't have enough...

Rugged, nice rubberized grip

Battery life, have to answer call right away

"Great, rugged phone."

 

This phone is fantastic. I "down-graded" from an HTC smart phone that crapped out on me, and I'm very happy. If you want a good phone that will last, and if you only plan to use it for calling and texting, then the Rugby II is a good bet. Also, the...

Tough as hell, feels built to last.

Screen could be bigger.

A lot to improve on for speaker-phone department...

 

THis phone now belongs to my wife as she is a classic "technophobe" living in the 50's tonight. She is very adverse to the touchscreen units, Blackberry's are worse as the keys are the size of a pin head. Her emphasis is not on social media-just rock...

Decent battery life, Small hands may not have a problem on long conversations, Interface for micro-SD chip is very useful

Sounds very tinny on speaker-phone and I get a headache, Non-standard audio plug for headphones, Samsung just bite the bullet and use a 3.5mm plug; limited after-market accessories-carrying cases, desktop chargers/speaker phones, Allow access to Apps
