Much like its predecessor, the Rugby 4 is a rugged push-to-talk flip phone. The ruggedness comes from its IP67 rating, giving the handset dust- and water-resistance, as well as by meeting the MIL-STD-810G standard for shock, vibration, temperature, low pressure, high-altitude, and other environmental conditions. The Rugby 4 is equipped with Wi-Fi, the first handset in the series to offer such connectivity, as well as a built-in compass, an enhanced speakerphone, and turn-by-turn navigation. You’ll need to subscribe to AT&T Navigator in order to take advantage of the navigation capabilities.
There are three ways you can earn the privilege to own the Rugby 4: off-contract for $270, on-contract for $100, and $1 for business customers who opt for an AT&T Enhanced Push-to-Talk rate plan. The handset will be available on October 10. You can see the Rugby 4 in the brief video below.
