Samsung is launching the GT-B2700, a new candybar phone certified to be resistant to water and dust. It’s another rugged beast after M110 and Z400 being among the latest-released ones. The phone’s durability has been certified to have met the IP54 level. Which means dust particle larger than 1mm is not allowed into this phone, and it’s also well protected from direct sprays and water. Samsung explains that the GT-B2700 is specially made to target a market that has been neglected for quite some time, which is the market of those careless users, who always drop their phones, or get the coffee spilled over.

While it might not have the most advanced features, but it certainly does the trick well enough to be an outdoor companion.Samsung GT-B2700 measures 115 x 52 x 18 millimeters. This phone will retail at the end of summer for $330. Features include:

* Quad-band GSM / GPRS + EDGE radio
* 1.9-inch 176×220 display
* FM radio
* Bluetooth 2.0
* Built-in compass and altimeter
* Music player
* 30MB internal memory
* 1300 mAh battery
* microSD card expansion

There’s neither 3G connectivity nor a video-call camera, but the rugged build will attract a lot of customers and built-in compass/altimeter make it intriguing.
