@topalli40 To have a rugged phone that is water proof to 3 feet...

[Dar70]

@Hogwit Yup. Have you made a decision on the Brigade yet??

[Hogwit]

@Dar70 Nope, my mother has...

[topalli40]

why would anyone in there right mind buy this?

[Dar70]

@topalli40 To make phone calls. Not everyone wants a fragile, candybar, curved corner, black shiny phone that looks like iphone.lol Seriously many people just dont want all the useless "toys" most smartphones offer today. Some want a bulky phone that wont break and has a few "toys" to make it worth while.

@Dar70 no everyone wants a smartphone you're wrong, look at the motorola defy thats a sturdy phone with android nothing like this piece of crap

[Dar70]

@topalli40 I dont think so.I had one and didnt think much of it. My old phone surfed the net very well with opera mini,in fact better than touchscreen smartphone I had.I know several people who do not want all the apps and touchscreen.That said Im not saying its bad to have a smartphone, its just that some people dont want all those bells and whistles.I checked out the defy.It looks like your standard smartphone.Curved corners and iphonish, etc. water and dust resistant w/android.

@topalli40 at least the Brigade isnt trying to be an iphone clone when it comes to looks.

@topalli40 because it's water proof mostly, like if it's raining heavy outside or if you drop it, you don't have to worry about a fancy touch screen breaking.
