AT&T's mil-spec Motorola Tundra now on sale

Alright, Rugby owners, avert your eyes, lest you be overcome with jealousy, rage, and an overwhelming sense of regret about your purchase. We kid, we kid -- there's nothing wrong with your phone. In fact, everything's so right with it that AT&T decided to add another model to its rugged push-to-talk-compatible lineup, the Tundra from Motorola. We've been hearing about this one for a while -- and it's been available on Rogers for quite some time -- so there really aren't any big secrets here: 3G, 2 megapixel camera, stub antenna (presumably for Motorola-typical awesome reception), AGPS, QVGA display, and microSD expansion. We wouldn't drop it into a beer on purpose, but we suppose it's comforting to know it'll probably survive if you do.

[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

I've seen this phone and man, is it beefy. it just feels like a good solid phone. If I had enough people to PTT, I'd consider getting this one.

I've actually checked this phone out since it launched and MOTO actually put some nice features in it for a 'rugged device' - which typically are dumbed down.

Their LJ [magx] platform seems a lot more responsive and robust than other operating systems. The phone reads SMS, Email, supports multi-threaded execution for apps like Xora - list goes on.


Definitely not a phone you take with you to the club but I think they hit their target market dead on. I've seen some videos out there of people running this thing over with bulldozers, playing hockey with it and hitting it with golf clubs - weird wild stuff.
