Introduction
I am still keeping on my shelf a sealed, foiled, zero-minute Siemens ME45. It is a symbol of an era; firstly because it’s Siemens and secondly because it is heavy-duty. Back then I think there were the Nokia 6250 and Ericsson R310 on the market. There weren’t really other, massively produced phones; since then we have seen the 5500, but this was only a “sporty” model, it’s sturdiness existed mostly based on its looks.
Samsung M110 has officially debuted this year. This Korean giant has too entered amongst the manufacturers making heavy-duty phones. There is truly a demand for such handsets but it’s good to know that manufacturer still doesn’t provide warranty for the phone in case of drenching it, or dropping it from the sixth floor. Instead we get a bit more protection against water drops, fluffs and bumps and neither the Samsung M110 is a device that we can take with us to the shower.
Of course the handset we got from XXL GSM is a bit more resistant to everyday stress. But we shouldn’t’ expect it to survive everything. Maybe the Ericsson R310 was the last public phone to be harshly tested by the manufacturer before its launch and we can still see a few of these orange monsters in pockets of foremen or miners. The Samsung M110 is rather recommended for those who, because of their work, must take their phone with them everywhere and they don’t want to waste their time with thinking about where to put the phone while they’re repairing a service box in the ground.
