I bought this phone and didn't notice that it was AT&T so it arrives on time brand new??
The battery is great, the phone volume works great, I can receive and send message perfectly... BUT the radio/GPS/Games/ETC..etc... anything that requires an AT&T subscription is unusable. I cannot use it and being in Canada we don't have this carrier. So a word to the wise buying anything on line read VERY carefully before buying anything.I have tried to remove the AT&T stuff but I am told its part of the phone and cannot be removed...

I own this phone and it's pretty tough. One drawback:
You can't sideload JAR/JAD files to the phone, you need to use WAP to download an app that allows you to access the root filesystem of the device so you can copy the JAR file to a certain folder.

Anonymous, 26 Apr 2016Does this phone work in Iraq with local SIM card and prepai... moreBuy an unlocked phone (Amazon) or unlock it with the help on a code from (many website you can buy the code) and then take a sim card from where ever u like and put it into the phone. Only problem I found in the US these phones are ATT so you will end up with allot of apps pretaining to ATT which you cannot remove unless you root (there are other ways too) to remove them (a pain in the butt) In Canada your stuck with bell that said it still works great in calls and texting. But you shouldn't pay more than $100 for an unlocked rugby 3.

Yes...
When the phone is ringing - open the clam shell and the phone answers.
But, the phone must be opened all the way in one complete action. Because, if, for example, the phone is opened 25% and then it snaps shut while someone's elderly hands get a better grip on the phone... it will answer... and then hang-up. (one would expected the phone to function).

Sadly, the Rugby III is a step back form the Rugby II in terms
of durability. The front is very easily scratched / damaged in comparison, the lanyard attatchment is MUCH better on the RugbyII. The III is also needlessly (but slightly) bigger than the II. This is all very puzzling, a new model way less rugged in the "rugby" series.
