NEC doesn't have a substantial presence in the Android market today. With its new device, the Terrain, NEC makes a bold statement, billing it as "the World's most SOLID smartphone".

The Terrain is rated IP-67 for dust and water immersion; and Military 810G for shock, extreme temperatures, and salt fog; yet it still manages to cram a push-to-talk button and QWERTY keyboard inside its rugged shell.

Hit play and watch as I unbox this durable beast, and take it for a quick spin and hardware tour.

This isn't the last that we've seen of the NEC Terrain. I'm talking it on as my daily driver over the next few days to put it through its paces. As you might expect, I'll go out of my way to test its durability. less
