The Ventura mobile phone is rugged, water resistant to IP67 and is designed to withstand being dropped from 2 metres. It also has a tough anti-crush construction.

The SIM cards can be from different airtime providers, giving the user the ability to choose different networks for different purposes. Some Users may wish to have a private SIM and a business SIM, others may require a global roaming, low cost SIM and a standard UK SIM, the options are endless.

The features of the Ventura Rugged Mobile are not limited to the dual SIM option though. The device is sophisticated, packed with features such as GPS, touch screen operation, long battery life, WAP, camera, MP3 and MPEG4 players.
