A closer look at the tough Kyocera DuraXT (pictures)

The Kyocera DuraXT by Sprint is a clamshell feature phone that can withstand a good dunk or two.

The DuraXT sports a 2-inch QVGA display, a 1-inch external display, and an alphanumeric keypad.

The DuraXT's rear-facing camera, though only 3.2-megapixel, is surprisingly decent.

The Kyocera DuraXT's keypad is comfortable and graciously spaced out.

Because it's a rugged device, the DuraXT is on the bulky side, weighing in at 5.3 ounces.

The toggle switch in the rear keeps the Kyocera DuraXT's back plate secured and sealed.

The DuraXT sports a 2.5mm headphone jack -- useful for PTT headsets, but incompatible with your standard pair of headphones.

The DuraXT's rubber build ensures that it'll keep ticking after a good beating, but it's not the most attractive handset.
