If you’re the type of consumer that requires the use of a rugged phone, you might be interested to find out that Kyocera has released a new phone dubbed the DuraPlus, which as the name might have already given away, is a phone that has been designed to withstand rugged environments. It has been designed with military-grade durability, which includes dust, shock, vibration resistance, is usable in extreme temperatures, humidity, blowing rain and can withstand up to 30 minutes of immersion in water up to 1m in depth. The DuraPlus will also feature a built-in LED flash light and will make use of Sprint’s push-to-talk service, Direct Connect.

Having made it through the FCC’s approval, we do know that the Kyocera C6750 will be a world phone that supports Verizon Wireless’ spectrum bands in addition to GSM/WCDMA 850/1900 bands, accompanied by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, being water resistant to a certain extent, and also sporting a camera with flash and a microUSB port. No idea on when it will arrive though.

Taking a couple of hours after that for it to thaw out, the Kyocera Torque was dropped from a height of 15 feet – twice, and the Kyocera Torque passed with flying colors. Isn’t that mighty impressive?
