My husband has had a couple of these phones over the past few years. He is in the towing business, so you can imagine what kind of abuse it gets. When we had to replace his first one, it was just worn out because he used it so much. It is a very good basic phone with a few extras on it. He just wants a phone that works with a camera :-) This is a very good phone to have if you are in any type of a rough environment ie: construction, towing, heavy machinery or if you drop it a lot. I don't recall if it's water resistant, but it's been a few puddles and survived well!
