Sure, stylish mobiles such as the and the Samsung SGH-T509 look good, but you really have to wonder about their durability, especially if you lead an active lifestyle. To meet the needs of the athletic minded, Nokia has introduced its Nokia 5500 Sport. Encased in durable stainless steel with rubber grips, this smart phone features three different modes: phone, music, and sports. The triband (GSM 900/1800/1900; GPRS) mobile has a 2-megapixel camera, a Micro SD slot, and text-to-speech functionality. It can also hold up to 750 songs and has an integrated pedometer. The Nokia 5500 is expected to ship in Q3 2006; U.S. availability is still not known. If you can't wait or don't need a smart phone, check out these durable cell phones.
