Nokia 3720: abused and still ticking

Posted by rsanchez Published in Electronics, Gadgets, mobile phones

Although Nokia may have been overtaken in popularity by Apple’s iPhone (in the Unites states anyway), that doesn’t mean they should stop and let the competition run all over them. Instead they’ve gone into thinking away from being another “iPhone wannabe” and focused on other features that a person would like.

The iPhone and its ilk has always been seen as too precious to lug around in. Therefore, Nokia has decided to create a phone that would be tough as nails but still be able to make it tech boy lovable. Behold the Nokia 3720.

“Whether using it at the beach or in a dusty construction site, the Nokia 3720 classic has been specifically engineered to withstand the splashes, bumps and drops that come with the terrain,” said Markku Suomi, vice president, Connect devices. “While the Nokia 3720 classic is tough on the outside, it is equally functional on the inside – a perfect choice for people who want a long-lasting and reliable mobile phone for any environment.”

It’s difficult to describe the next videos we’ll show you. If you have a beloved Nokia mobile phone, please turn it off and hide it somewhere safe. It won’t want to see the following.

And the most painful would be the Nokia 3720 falling from the second floor!

That’s so sick!

Here’s the specs:

2-megapixel camera with LED flash, 4X digital zoom
2.2-inch QVGA 16.7 million colours display
Nokia Maps pre-installed on the 1GB microSD card
Stereo music player supporting MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA, and stereo FM Radio

If there was a mobile phone that would be equivalent to Superman, this maybe it. Wait for it to be shipped within this Summer, but I would be betting that this will sell even more come Christmas.
