Motorola has announced a new special cellphone named Quantigo. It is special because it is ruggedized, and also due to the material used on the outside which is rubber-coated with texture so it becomes easier to grip.

The clamshell type of phone has another special feature, which is being able to withstand a couple of different scenarios, be it 30-minute under water, or extreme pressures, or high/low temperatures, and even dust or blowing rain. The Motorola Quantico will become available later this year at Cricket Wireless, MetroPCs and other carriers. In terms of normal specs for a cellphone it includes GPS, bluetooth, and a 2.5mm headset jack.
