Nokia 3720 Classic Specifications & Features [N3720 IP-54 Certified Rugged Phone Gets Official]

Only yesterday we brought you a number of videos showing just how rugged the up and coming Nokia 3720 IP-54 certified phone is – see: VIDEO: Rugged Nokia 3720 Tough Guy Phone [N3720's Durability Tested & Confirmed] – and today Nokia have just officially announced the ultra durable phone complete with full specifications and features.

We’ll list the full specifications of the Nokia 3720 Classic in a moment, but first here’s how Nokia chose to officially announce their latest ultra durable handset:

Nokia today introduced the new Nokia 3720 classic, an IP-54 certified mobile phone designed to resist water, dust and shock. Following the footsteps of Nokia’s highly popular ‘rugged’ devices of the past, the Nokia 3720 classic is encased in durable materials and is entirely sealed to protect the inner electronics. The Nokia 3720 is expected to retail for approximately EUR 125 before subsidies or taxes and is expected to begin shipping this summer.

“Whether using it at the beach or in a dusty construction site, the Nokia 3720 classic has been specifically engineered to withstand the splashes, bumps and drops that come with the terrain,” said Markku Suomi, vice president, Connect devices. “While the Nokia 3720 classic is tough on the outside, it is equally functional on the inside – a perfect choice for people who want a long-lasting and reliable mobile phone for any environment.”

The Nokia 3720 classic features a sealed, leak-proof design and durable materials in a range of colours. The battery cover, which protects both the battery and the internal circuitry of the device, is locked with a screw, making for worry-free usage in wet, dusty or muddy environments.

As to be expected, the Nokia 3720 classic also offers exceptional battery performance as well as an LED flashlight, to complement its rugged design. Additional add-ons include Nokia Maps, which comes pre-loaded on the 1 GB microSD memory card, and the large and bright 2.2″ display is perfect for following the route even in unfamiliar terrain.
