Not too sure

I'm not sure how it made out in your review. We had this model selling at Rogers in Canada since last October. So far, I'm getting lots of returns (repairable) and I got a few liquid damaged. Samsung has just came out a phone to compete with VA76r, the Rugby, that's a pretty solid phone!

HECK YA!!

I dont know whats better holding the phone under the water -OR- when he took his glove off he had a band-aid on his finger showing irony of the review and the reviewer!

(we dont have speakers on our CPU's at work so we watched it without sound)
