Compare Prices for Samsung B2700 Bound

A year on from its predecessor this rugged phone from Samsung exhibits a few improvements, but I am not convinced the B2700 Bound has a place in the rucksack of the serious outdoors type on the basis of the features it offers. Its battery life, though, could buy its passage, because nobody wants to be caught in a sticky situation with a dead mobile phone. Read full review

Yes, it is my main and only mobile phone. Toughness is a must for me in all circumstances. Good menus but i don't like much the buttons experience. I would not change it for something else.

I bought the Samsung B2700 Bound as I had previously damaged phones whilst hill walking. It worked fine from a tough point of view. The features are great, especially the compass. The problem is the software. It keeps switching the phone off, and ceasing to recognise the phone book or text files. It seems to be tough on the outside but flakey inside. I could find no help on the Samsung website and you need to live close to a help centre to receive assistance. I would recommend you look elsewhere for a rugged phone or at least buy cheaply so as not to have an expensive papaerweight on your desk.
