Siemens M65
(2004)

An absolute tank of German engineering and one of the most iconic rugged mobile phones ever produced. Long before modern IP-rated smartphones, Siemens captured the outdoor adventure, extreme sports, and construction markets by delivering a device that was unashamedly aggressive, durable, and packed with armor. It was built to survive drops, dust, and water splashes that would instantly destroy its contemporaries.

Technical Specifications:
Display: 2.1 inches TFT (132 x 176 pixels, 65k colors) – surprisingly large and highly readable in direct sunlight for its era.
Memory: 11 MB of shared internal storage, no memory card slot expansion.
Camera: VGA (640 x 480 pixels) with a protective rubber plug and video recording capability.
Connectivity: Infrared (IrDA) port, WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10.
Protection: "3D-Protection" system consisting of a metal exoskeleton frame and rubber shock absorbers.
Battery: 750 mAh Lithium-Ion (EBA-660) providing solid standby times in the field.
Dimensions: 109 x 49 x 19 mm
Weight: 104 grams

The defining characteristic of the Siemens M65 was its revolutionary structural defense layout. Siemens wrapped the durable plastic chassis in a heavy-duty, grey aluminum alloy exoskeleton cage that securely locked into the backplate with a physical metal screw. Every vulnerable point – including the charging port, headset jack, and camera lens – was sealed with signature bright orange rubber gaskets and plugs. This striking grey-and-orange color scheme made it an instant lifestyle statement.

Beyond its bulletproof construction, the M65 catered heavily to outdoor enthusiasts. Siemens released an official accessory called the "Bike-o-Meter" — a specialized handlebar mount with a wheel sensor that connected directly to the phone. When docked, the M65 launched a dedicated cycling application, transforming the mobile device into an advanced trip computer, speedometer, and odometer. It remains a legendary pioneer of the rugged phone category and a pinnacle of Siemens' design peak.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Active (ST17i)
(2011)

Mažas, bet neįtikėtinai ištvermingas išmanusis, sukurtas tiems, kurie negali nusėdėti vietoje. Tai buvo vienas iš nedaugelio bandymų rinkoje sukurti tikrą bekelės telefoną, neaukojant funkcionalumo.

1 GHz Scorpion procesorius, 512MB RAM, 1GB vidinė atmintis, MicroSD lizdas, 3,0 colių LCD ekranas, 320x480 raiška, IP67 sertifikatas, 5 MP kamera, 1200 mAh baterija, matmenys 92x55x16.5mm, svoris 110,8 g.

ST17i turėjo wet finger tracking technologiją, leidusią valdyti ekraną net šlapiais pirštais. Išskirtinis dizaino elementas – masyvi metalinė kilpa dirželiui. Tai buvo sporto entuziastų kompanionas su barometru bei ANT+ palaikymu. Šiandien tai priminimas apie laikus, kai atsparus telefonas galėjo būti stilingas ir itin kompaktiškas.

Rugged phone owner tip: If your USB-C port doesn't work anymore, maybe the port isn't really broken and you just need to clean the mud out of it occasionally so the plug can go in all the way again 😆

After walking it all over the construction sites the battery cover is hold with a zip tie and the antenna plastic is broken, but the metal is intact: no problem for TX/RX.

I had it with a cloth cover, but the area of the keys that was transparent, well...looked like brown sunglasses.

It still running, also the battery been built to be replaced by normal dry batts in case of needed.
