Rugged Mobile Phone - Blackview BV6000

[gadget99]

Thanks for the link. The phone I was interested in, the Samsung 7 Active, is unfortunately only offered to AT&T customers.

I may just get a Galaxy S7 Edge, with an Otterbox. I have mixed feelings about Otterbox, since I had it for the Galaxy S5 and after one initial crack, literally the entire thing fell apart.

May just have to use again, though. I don't know of a superior brand.

Hi Dude,

Check this case supplier. I used their case for my Sony Z3 and it worked up to spec big time.

They make cases for the phones you are interested in.

Pluse they are cheaper than otterbox much of the time.

Edit: Fixed link. ~ s-k

Just ordered one of these BV6000 phones. Hopefully it's everything that it's claimed to be. My current phone, a Casio G'Zone Commando, sucks. Freezes up all the time and the battery averages a few hours with limited talk time.

Been using the BV6000 for close to two months now and am really happy with it.

My wife has proclaimed that she wants one also. So that is a vote of confidence.

I use my alot throughout each day (4-6 hrs of surfing and using apps) and can get two days of use out of one charge.

I hope you like yours.

Been pretty busy here so have not been posting much as of late.

Would be interested I. How anyone who gets one of these like them. To compare notes.

Thanks

Finally got mine today. For everyone's info, if you're going to order one of these and don't want to wait for a month, don't order it from Gear Best. They took forever. It's a bit more expensive from Amazon but you'd get it quick.

Turns out it doesn't work with my current carrier, Page Plus, who uses Verizon's network. I like the phone after a brief examination. It is quite large though.  I'm looking into switching carriers. I believe, based on some more research, that it will work with the AT&T network. Can anyone confirm this?

Finally checked out the link. Turns out I've been looking at the exact same phone, it just gets sold under a different name in S.A.
They cost about R5500 here, and no service providers offer them so I'll probably have to look at getting one credit if I do.

The last rugged smart phone I had was the Samsung Xcover2. Absolutely bloody bullet proof and not a terrible phone for the time. Unfortunately the charger point was crap, pretty much everyone I know who had one ended up chucking it because the charging point kept packing up.

FYI, the BV6000 works fine on the AT&T/Straight Talk network.

I just clicked the luvmeicases link in the first post here.  Found this:

the link looks like a spoofed link.
try this one.

"case" seems legit.  IP information 114.215.136.36
"cases" looks like a spoofed site.

OK that seems reasonable and the non-plural seems legit.

So, I've had the BV6000 now since November of last year. I really like it except for one thing. The loudspeaker quit working a couple months ago. I did a software reset but that didn't help. The speaker for the phone is fine but the one on the back for music, speakerphone etc. is so quiet it's almost totally useless. Anybody else have this problem with theirs?

Just to give my feedback about the OtterBox Defender  https://goo.gl/3sHcEn , I have used several cases and now for my Pixel phone, found the Otterbox to be the best in terms of protection and also to carry (attached to the belt).
