The Nokia 3720 Classic received a good amount of early promotion from the company, which included a series of videos showing the handset experience a barrage of abuses. As you may have guessed, it's Nokia's latest rugged phone, touting extreme durability and survival capabilities across a wide range of conditions. Like other rugged devices, the 3720 isn't the snazziest-looking phone around. Compared to many current releases though (such as the Sonim XP3 and the Samsung B2700), it's a lot better-looking. Special props are in order for not rocking a nasty rubber layer along the side. As Nokia claims, the device can withstand a great amount of torture. From dunking in a flood of water to getting hurled from a distance, it survived capably. There were a few minutes of bad sound coming from the loudspeaker after the water test, but it fixed itself shortly after that. Suffice to say, this rugged phone should live up to the durable billing. One notable ommision is a lens cover for the camera. While it recesses into the surface, there's no extra protection beyond that. As a phone, it offers decent quality calls, with natural-sounding voices and excellent performance under busy environments. The battery lasts for a good 7 hours of talk time. It's nowhere near as impressive as the over-10 hours from some other rugged devices, but it's good enough to last you for a weekend trip without recharging.
