Nokia releases 3720 classic

NOKIA this weekend introduced the new Nokia 3720 classic, an IP-54 certified mobile phone which it said has been designed to resist water, dust and shock.

This follows in the footsteps of Nokia’s highly popular ‘rugged’ devices of the past, the Nokia 3720 classic which is encased in durable materials and is entirely sealed to protect the inner electronics.

It is expected to retail in the next quarter of the year.

“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, Nokia 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.

It 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.
