Rugged Nokia 3720 classic gets official

Today Nokia officially unveiled the Nokia 3720 classic – a rugged handset, designed to survive in enviroments where others won’t. Coming with IP-54 certification and entry-level feature set, the Nokia 3720 classic will be a direct rival to the Samsung B2100 Xplorer.

Nokia 3720 classic is the next member of the almost forgotten line of “rugged” devices by the Finnish manufacturer dating back to Nokia 5140. Its IP-54 certification indicates complete dust and splash resistance, while Nokia also claim greatly increased shock resistance.

The body of the handset is made of stainless steel elements, sealed materials and rough textured surface. The back cover is protected against water and dust by a metal screw lock. A couple of days ago we were able to catch a glimpse of several Nokia 3720 classic torture tests that the little fella passed with flying colors.

Unluckily the 3720 classic doesn’t feature 3G support, leaving the tri-band GPRS/EDGE as its only network data transfer option.
The device will start shipping this summer and is expected to cost about €125 before subsidies or taxes. Check out the full, official, specs and gallery below.
