Mother Nature ain’t got nothing on this phone
If you’ve been looking for an affordable, ruggedized, water-resistant phone, but want something more advanced than a featurephone, Cherry Mobile may have something for you. The company’s listing for their yet unannounced Rover has been photographed by a blogger visiting one of their many service centers scattered around the metro. The Rover is IP67 certified, which means that the device is completely dust proof, and can withstand being immersed in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes.
