Smartphones are all the rage, but for those that are still in need of a feature phone in a clamshell form factor, Samsung and AT&T are gearing up to launch the Rugby 4 on October 10th. The Rugby 4 is a successor to the Rugby III launched back in 2012, and while it doesn't offer the features of a smartphone, it does come with a rugged construction that is IP67-certified for water and dust-resistance and the MIL-STD-810G standard for protection against shock, vibration, temperature, low pressure, high-altitude, and other environmental conditions. It's also the first Rugby phone to feature Wi-Fi connectivity, and while AT&T hasn't fully detailed all its features, don't expect it to offer LTE network speeds.
The Rugby 4 also sports a built-in compass and turn-by-turn navigation through AT&T Navigator. It will be priced at $269.99 off-contract, $99.99 with a two-year agreement, and at $0.99 for business customers who go with AT&T's Enhanced Push-to-Talk rate plan.
