Here at The Nokia Guide we mostly cover Nokia’s S60 smartphones and Maemo based tablet devices, almost forgetting about S40. Admittedly, S40 devices don’t have tons of storage, multi-megapixel cameras or other show stopping features, making them less exciting to cover, despite being a big chunk in Nokia’s overall sales worldwide. Regardless of upcoming releases like the Booklet 3G and N900, I’m really excited about one particular S40 device: the Nokia 3720 Classic. I haven’t been excited about a S40 phone since the Nokia 6230 days, which should give you an idea how long that’s been.

The 3720 Classic is special for the fact that it’s built to IP-54 standards, making it quite the rugged phone, but unlike other models on the market made to withstand dirt or water, it doesn’t look like one which is one reason why I like this phone. Many times I’m left without access to email, calls and SMS because I tend to leave my devices at home when heading out to the beach, hiking or offroading, as I don’t want to end up with a damaged $600 device. For this reason the 3720 is just perfect, giving me all the basics, yet I was amazed that  it supports high capacity microSDHC cards, basic browsing capabilities, IMAP, POP and SMTP email support, 2 megapixel camera and even OVI maps with external GPS support. Only thing missing is a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The 3720 Classic could  in my opinion be one of Nokia’s best contender as a second device to your more expensive Smartphone. It could even be one of those “emergency” phones that you keep for years, even when continually upgrading your main Smartphone.

Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on the 3720 Classic and try it out  when we go offroading during the rainy season. Try that with your N97!

If you still aren’t sure about that IP-54 thing, just check out the video below. Are you getting the Nokia 3720 Classic?

Nokia has released the 3720 classic a bit earlier than expected. As we mentioned in an earlier post, as an IP-54 certified mobile phone, it’s designed to resist water, dust and shock. For such a rugged mobile phone, the 3720 looks pleasantly stylish and its bright yellow-on-black design reminds me of one of those satellite phones. Another interesting design element is the Metal screw lock in the back cover to protect the insides from the elements. While did mention it would have a 3.2 Megapixel camera, it actually turned out to be 2 Megapixel. Could be interesting to see how the camera lens and screen hold it up to all the abuse. Should be a better looking alternative to the Land Rover phone.  All I can say is I want one, now!

The press release below.

“Whether using it at the beach or in a dusty construction site, the Nokia 3720 classic has been specifically engineered to withstand the splashes, bumps and drops that come with the terrain,” said Markku Suomi, vice president, Connect devices. “While the Nokia 3720 classic is tough on the outside, it is equally functional on the inside – a perfect choice for people who want a long-lasting and reliable mobile phone for any environment.”

Nokia has been showing some tough love to an unknown device, that later on turned out to be the 3720 Classic. As an IP54-certified phone, it will be Nokia’s first dust and water proof phone. This concept isn’t new to Nokia, just look at the 5500 Sport, a phone designed to “withstand bumps, dust, and water splashes.” The 3720 takes things to another level by not only being “splash-proof” but now actually being water proof. I can think of many situation and events I wouldn’t dare take my Nseries or Eseries  devices just for the risk of being dropped or getting wet. These characteristics could make the 3720 the ultimate companion to any Nokia smartphone. Something that I  personally would love to get. Below the reported specifications of the device.

I can already see an E- or Nseries device with such features, would be amazing. The videos below pretty much say it all!
