 Great phone so far for us!, By
Mcmorty (Oklahoma, USA) – See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung Rugby II Phone, Black (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
First of all, this is probably not the phone for a teenager; it just doesn’t have the “cool” look most of them require. However, if you’re an adult simply looking for a good phone with great volume and reception, this one would work for you. We also like to customize our ringtones and that works out fine. I can’t speak for any of the other features since we really don’t care about them. I have small hands and my husband’s are larger and it feels fine for both of us. We’ve only had the phone for a few weeks, but so far it is just what we wanted. It was a challenge to find a reliable flip phone that doesn’t require a data plan and we think we’ve succeeded with the Rugby II.

 Virtual Entrapment, By
This review is from: Samsung Rugby II Phone, Black (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I’m still fairly new with this phone so I won’t speak to it’s long term durability as some other reviewers have but my first impression is SAMSUNG has made a fairly decent product that’s been turned into a money shake-down device by AT&T. My father who is quite inept with technology and notoriously hard on his phones chose the Rugby as it seemed to offer simplicity and durability. It seems like it is so until you start endlessly having to decline adding services. He doesn’t necessarily want Push To Talk but EVERY TIME he answers the Rugby his finger rests on the PTT button and he first has to decline adding that feature before he can answer. The only way to disable it is to physically damage the button so it will not activate. The large center button is of course a browser launch shortcut which he hit’s all the time. Was there not a class action about data use entrapment? There should be another. There is a GPS button which is easy for a senior to hit that also launches a service he does not want and cannot be disabled. The menu is a further fleece attempt festooned with AT&T services he doesn’t want or need. Were we not stuck with AT&T due to location this would certainly have been the final straw. I’m looking forward to Apple finally getting the iPhone somewhere else so AT&T’s subscriber pen get’s busted open and they finally have to stop shaking down customers for accidental service in order to retain them. It’s gotten unacceptable. + Two stars for what I feel is good Samsung quality (should have been 4).

 Not as “rugged” as I anticipated,
This review is from: Samsung Rugby II Phone, Black (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I bought this phone a few months ago as my other one that I had for two years broke when it fell 6 feet. I promptly called AT&T and spoke with a representative who recommended the Sumsung Rugby as one of the most “rugged” phones they have. I gladly purchased the phone for about .00 as I was looking forward to having a phone that was able to take some “wear and tear”. For a couple of months this phone worked fine … and yes, took some minor abuse in stride. And then, the other day I reached into my pocket for my car keys, and the phone fell out. The case broke apart where the phone flips on the right side … and now some of the electronics are exposed. It fell about three feet onto the asphalt. I was told that it could take “punishment” up to a 30 foot fall. It makes me wonder a bit about the military specifications mentioned in the paperwork and various sites I’ve seen. If you buy this phone, I sincerely hope that you have better luck than I did! |
