i580 - A Not-So-Rugged Phone

By: Bill Wilson on Tuesday, April 10, 2007
From Tulsa (United States)
Experience: 8 Months
Pros: good features, nice display, good sound

Cons: not durable

Summary: This phone is billed as a rugged phone but is not truly a rugged phone. I have owned this phone for about nine months and have already sent it back to Motorola two times because of the external display not functioning properly (not displaying at all). I do not treat this phone ruggedly although it is billed as a rugged phone. I carry this phone in a leather holster attached to my belt and in no way bang, drop, step on, or abuse this phone in any way at all. Overall, I have had phones not billed as rugged phones be more durable than this phone.
