Verizon's EXILIM hits stores, but it'll cost you.
Speaking of solid, the phone itself is actually built to MIL-STD-810 standards. For those of you who don’t speak Military, rest assured: the phone can withstand ” (immersion and rain), humidity, salt-fog, shock, vibration, dust, solar radiation, altitude, and low and high temperature storage” and still keep ticking. This well built package is rounded out by a rotating 2.3 inch display, expandable memory slot that can handle up to 8 GB of storage, support for VZ Navigator, Visual Voicemail, and V Cast’s Music partnership with Rhapsody.
If you’re a die-hard fan of the flip-phone form factor, it may be worth your time, but it’ll certainly make a dent in your wallet. You can mosey on down to your local Verizon store and pick one up for $329.99 out of pocket with a new 2 year contract, plus a $50 mail in rebate to sweeten the deal. It seems like a lot to pay for a feature phone, especially considering that most of Verizon’s expected summer sellers go for a good hundred dollars less (case in point, enV Touch), but if need a phone you can go to town on, this just might fit the bill.
