Battery life and robust construction

[reneg8or]

Who can advise me on this? I need a phone with exceptional build quality and enduring battery life. Social portals and multimedia is not important but it should have wifi, SIP/internet calling, bluetooth, usb, microSD and at least 3G but hopefully HSDPA. I really don't need it to be a fashion statement but rather a robust work tool.

Which are the best options out there?

The JCB Pro Smart has a 2000mAh battery & fits the practical rather than beauty contest bill.
CAT B10 would be another option,US has just released the B15.



Most of the reviews on the JCB i feel have come from guys that have used the more hi spec ph's 1st.
Had one for a couple of days & i'm more than happy with it.
Builders Warehouse sell them but i could'nt find any of them with pro smart stock in Durban & bought mine from here.

Remains to be seen how it holds up

Depends how tough. I would rather buy a razr hd maxx and put it in a tough case.

3300mAh

It reminds me of motoring journo's who call a 147kW hot hatch ''underpowered.'' Sometimes people cannot discern between needs and wants. Thanks for the welcome feedback here.
