Review: CAT S40
Phones like this have always seemed so pointless to me
With cases existing that do everything this phone does and more, I don't understand throwing $400 at a mediocre phone. Why not get a much better one and a Lifeproof (or similar) case?
I really think there are too many Android phones that serve no purpose, other than trumped up notions of 'choice'. Only a select few actually sell worth a damn, while the rest collect dust.
I wonder how much money it costs carriers to stock these somewhat 'worthless' phones. And beyond that, you have to account for the fact that beyond just the cost of the phones not selling well, they're also lacking severely (usually) in one, if not many categories, which then just pisses off the user and displeases them - which again has a negative impact on pro...

I can see that about many phones, like half of samsung's entire line. This phone however, is actually a heavy duty phone, so its not like it serves no purpose aside from adding another sku to their limited lineup.
If I still worked a physical job, or was one of the many people who have broken "active" style phones, I would look at this as the next logical step, cuz it beats the hell out of any other phone with an (insert case here) as far as durability.
And if you have an intruder at night, you can hit them with it, bonus.

'So sir, let me get this straight: your "CAT phone" managed to decapitate this intruder - and the screen isn't even broke?'

Because add-on cases don't do a thing for things like the far, far louder speaker output of these ruggedized phones, background-noise-cancelling microphones, ability to use the touchscreen while in the pouring rain, or wearing gloves, etc.
Is your car properly protected when operating out in the elements, or do you drive it around with a car cover on it? Oh, you DON'T drive it with a cover on it? Well, then, it must have been designed from the ground up to be able to operate in the real world.
Yes, the aftermarket cases definitely help protect the otherwise unprotected mainstream phones, but putting an iPhone or Galaxy into an after-market case is absolutely NOT the same as one of these phones designed from the ground up with all of th...
