In our days, a durable mobile phone is a great achievement. Even if almost all mobile phones are made from different resistant materials, these handsets can’t resist to brutal shocks or in an increased humidity. For those people who work or live in a hostile environment, Motorola has launched the AT&T the Motorola Tundra cell phone.

The
Motorola Tundra cell phone is a military-spec phone which is designed to withstand a lot of crazy situations and harsh conditions. Before it was launched, it was tested in many extreme conditions such as high and low temperature, intense shocks, dripping rain, vibrations, humidity and dust, and we can say that it does a great job. In terms of design, the Motorola Tundra cell phone is certainly not a stylish handset. It comes with a resistant plastic “clamshell” case covered with a special rubber which makes this phone feel like it’s made of carbon fiber and Kevlar. With 98 x 53.8 x 24 mm in dimensions and 107 grams in weight, it is not one of the thinnest and lightest Motorola cell phones. An uncommon aspect for a modern mobile phone is that the
Motorola Tundra cell phone comes with an external antenna. On the sides of this phone you will find a camera shutter, a miniUSB port, a volume rocker and a Push-to-Talk button (which is large and can be a bit embarrassing if you don’t use the Push-to-Talk function).
When you open the cell phone, you will find a 2.2 inch TFT display which has a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. This display supports 256K colors and will offer you clear images with true colors and a good contrast. We almost forgot to mention that this mobile phone has a secondary 1.05 inch external display which has a native resolution of 96 x 80 pixels. On this display you will see a clock and date and the signal and battery levels. The numerical pad is typical AT&T style. The keys are large, easy to press and each one has a slightly raised design. Being very responsive and offering a positive feedback, you will be able to write on them even in an emergency situation. Why is this numerical pad in the typical AT&T style? Well, besides the numerical keys and the menu navigation buttons (including two soft keys, a D-pad and the usual Call and End keys), there are two other dedicated keys: Cellular Video shortcuts and one for AT&T Media Net. The
Motorola Tundra cell phone doesn’t lack a camera. It comes with an integrated 2 Megapixel camera capable of taking photos at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. This camera is placed on the external face, above the display.
For connectivity, the
Motorola Tundra cell phone comes with GPS, Push-to-Talk, 3G support, GPRS and EDGE. For connecting with a PC or other devices it has a USB port and Bluetooth. Even if this mobile phone has not been designed for music listeners or photography fans, it comes with 100 MB of internal memory which can be extended up to 4 GB with a microSD card. The battery is another very important aspect for this cell phone. The standard Li-Ion 1130 mAh battery is capable of keeping this handset on for almost 5 hours and 20 minutes of conversations and up to 480 hours in standby mode. Overall, we are satisfied with the
Motorola Tundra cell phone. It has proven to be very resistant and even if it has a low price ($179.99), it is capable to offer you enough technology to be proud of it.
