Summer is over, but I've been trying to extend those sweet dog days by running around the country looking for ways to contribute to the destruction of a completely innocent smartphone. The fine folks at Kyocera loaned me a sample of their ruggedized, military-grade, Bear Grylls-endorsed 4G Android phone, the Torque, with a license to stretch it to the limits without any fear of destroying it.
Either I will break this phone, or I will be broken trying.
For more on the Torque itself, which is actually a bargain on Sprint right now, read our full review. To see how it (and I) survive the white water of Colorado's San Juan River, check out the video:
