Whoever has this phone, do you like it?
Hello everyone. I used to have the Samsung Rugby 3 and thought about getting the Samsung Rugby 4 for my business device. For those of you who own one of these, do you like it?
I got this phone and it is just fine. It is bigger than the last one and heavier. Really good battery life so far and wi fi capable. Just wish it wasn't quite so big.
I'm thinking about getting this too. Looks like they addressed some issues like battery life and speakerphone volume.
Has an available extended battery too that should extend talk time to over 21 hours.
Modern Carrier PTT Solutions
Great phone, but a word of advice - don't pay the extra $$$ for PTT. There are better, faster, cheaper, and more reliable alternatives out there. Nextel was the only proprietary cellular PTT that actually worked well. Everyone else, including Sprint, offer only dumbed-down versions. The drawback is that VOIP PTT is hackable, whereas iDEN was nearly impossible to crack.
Unless your a business or government employee, Voxer, Zello, or any number of other apps are just as good as Nextel was - and far better than carrier push-to wait.
