A secure business phone Outfone BD618
I Read in early February article about protected smartphone Nokia Lumia and decided to add the subject.On the market at the same time there are many such novelties. However, the "journey into history" shows that most of the models of secure phones, not intended "to be worn in a suit."
I was looking for a everyday phone features, such as those for which crash tests passing trucks.
It is obvious that attempts to create such gadgets, it was a lot. For example, business phone Sonim Spirit 2.1, Motorola Defy and some other. But judging by the reviews on the same Ya Market, the products are not quite suitable for business use (abuse weight, thickness and small screens).
Today I want to talk about protected phone Outfone BD618, which is found in Ukrainian online store – it is strange that information about it online is not enough. The Russian company's site was quite empty and sad, and .com I even the correct model is not found.
PR products prohibited by the rules, so post in offtopic.
Under the cut is a lot pictures, 2 videos and a detailed description of the model.
That's so cute in the box:

GPS module
About the GPS module need to be discussed separately. Supports A-GPS to speed up "cold start" the GPS receiver. However, standard maps for devices running Android OS offer not the most convenient navigation with a permanent connection to the Internet. To search for the newly opened boutique in his hometown this sat NAV is fine. But for driving during the holidays is not the best option. So travel lovers will have to buy a normal navigation software. However, in the phone, which is shown in the overview map is already loaded (tried Ukrainian store, where it was purchased) — Navitel Navigator with maps of Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Connectivity
To implement the main function, for which, in fact, he designed, installed BD618 Outfone GSM receiver for two SIM cards. The smartphone can work in networks GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/900/1800 / 1900MHz and also 3G (900/2100 MHz). Wireless Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n allows you to not only connect with wifi-router, but to the smartphone to act as an access point. If necessary, you can use Bluetooth version 2.1, which provides a high quality headset or transfer data from phone to phone. The computer connection is made through a microUSB connector, so the device share files.
Battery
The smartphone has a battery capacity of 1500 mA*h Battery is not the most powerful, but quite capable of powering the unit for one to two days depending on the mode of operation. But in the set Outfone BD618, as in the business models of Nokia, offers two battery, ie the period of work is doubled.
Another would be the battery as Philips Xenium...
System
Dual-core Cortex A9 processor with frequency of 1.2 GHz. The needs of the operating system allocated 0.5 GB of RAM, and user data is available only 4 GB. A little bit, but the issue is solved by installing a microSD memory cards up to 32 GB. All this is controlled by the modern Android OS version 4.0.4. This will allow you to use all the variety of applications and services from Google. Among the standard pre-installed applications Gmail, Youtube, Gtalk, Gmaps. In the Google Play with over 600,000 apps, I'm always open access to download various multimedia content.
Additional features & equipment
Additional features Outfone BD618 there are those that are useful in travelling and entertainment (thermometer, barometer, altimeter and compass) and those, which can not do without in everyday life (MP3/MP4, FM radio, flashlight). Picking a smartphone is sufficient standard. The basic set includes: phone, extra battery, wired stereo headset, USB cable and charger.
Those who do not bother to brands and brand awareness, and searches your device for their needs — may be appropriate.
