DuraXE
Pros:
IPX8 Waterproof, rock solid, WiFi w/Hotpot ability, Bluetooth tethering, USB tethering, LTE data, 720P video
Cons:
Loudspeaker is not as loud as i expected and as advertised, my Samsung Rugby 2's loudspeaker blows this one away with ease, very heavy phone, Video capture SUX big time, it only takes video in portrait mode which is totally unacceptable, i cannot send a video over mms because it tells me the mms limit size has been reached even though the video is only 3 seconds long, no gps guidance
I purchased this phone to get away from the smartphone while maintaining most of the smartphone features. My main features i needed to keep was SUPER loud loudspeaker, 3G/4G/LTE speed, Bluetooth tethering...
If i could have this DuraXE with the speakerphone from the Samsung Rugby 2..... I would have the PERFECT phone...

Longer text notification tones
The current text notification tones aren't near long enough. During the night, when we're on call, the current text notification tones aren't near long enough when we're asleep and the SCADA system (Wastewater Treatment Plant) calls us with a problem. The best thing would to be able to assign anything from media player to the text notification sounds. Ability to assign media player things to ring tones would be nice also. It would be equally as nice to increase the alarms from 5 to 10. Otherwise, the phone works good. A lot of good features for a flip phone. Model # Kyocera-E4710, Software version 1.12AT, Hardware version 1010.
