For some reason known only to its users, push-to-talk and mil-spec protection seem to go hand in hand — and that trend continues with Samsung’s Convoy for Verizon. The beefy little flip offers 810F compliance for resistance against shock, dust, vibration, salt, fog, humidity, sunlight, and temperature extremes, EV-DO-based push-to-talk, Bluetooth 2.1, and a 2 megapixel camera plus VZ Navigator support. Verizon’s also touting its “long battery life” (we’ll be the judge of that) with a 1300mAh pack on board, so you should be able to chirp-chirp your way through the night if you play your cards right and you’ve got some willing participants on the other end. Look for this one to drop (quite literally — it’s rugged, after all) on November 15 for $49.99 on contract after a $50 mail-in rebate.
