i-mate launches 810-F military phone

i-mate has launched the 810-F that boasts a U.S. military specification and runs on Windows Mobile 6.1.

There's nothing particularly special about an i-mate smartphone on Windows Mobile 6.1, but the 810-F is a little bit special when it comes to rugged design.

The 810-F features a waterproof rubber casing and exposed metal screws to 'lock in the factory seal, making it impervious to almost anything', or so says the press release.

Other features of the 810-F include:

• Will operate at temperatures between -10°C and 60°C
• Can be fully submerged under water
• A full Qwerty keyboard
• HSDPA and EDGE
• 2-megapixel camera with video capability
• 2.2GB internal storage
• GPS
• Wi-Fi
• Digital compass
• Accelerometer

The i-mate 810-F will be available in the next couple of weeks.
