The Samsung Convoy


The Samsung Convoy is ready for Verizon duty! Lighthearted jokes aside, that may not be too far from the truth. A design that screams tough, the Convoy is literally built to withstand the worst. It has an intimidating rugged look with a metallic theme throughout. Upon handling, it gives more weight than other clam shell phones such as the LG Accolade. Heavy doesn't necessarily mean bad, in fact this just makes it seem even hardier. When flipped open it has large easy to read face buttons with large menu buttons up top. Along the side we see a rib like theme that not only is on the structure, but also the buttons. On the left we can see the push to talk button, while on the right we have the volume controls, headphone jack and microSD slot. The phones face also features a screen with easily accessible media buttons for music.

The Convoy is made to take a beating with military grade 810F for shock, dust resistance, vibration, humidity, solar radiation, altitude and low to high tempratures. On a full charge this phone can be powered on standby for  just over 22 days or for 5 hours voice non-stop. It has an internal memory of 100 mb, but features a MicroSD slot for expanded memory.  The Camera is a 2.0 MP with nightshot, zoom and video options.

The Samsung Convoy has everything a tough construction worker, or clumsy desk jockey could ask for.

  • Rugged, durable and robust design meets military specifications 810F standards for shock and dust resistance, vibration, salt fog, humidity, solar radiation, altitude and low and high temperature storage
  • Push-to-Talk capabilities that leverage EV-DO Revision A technology for fast two-way communications and Internet
  • Integrated 2.0-megapixel camera with Night Shot, panorama, color effects and more
  • Bluetooth 2.1 technology supports mono and stereo headsets, hands-free, dial-up networking, serial port, object push (vCard and vCalendar only), basic image, basic printing and phonebook access
