The Xcover 271 is dust, water and shock resistant and can still function after being submerged in 1 meter deep water for 30 minutes.
Some of the features include: 30MB internal memory, digital compass, 3G support with video, 2 inch display, GPS, Google Maps, microSD card slot, pedometer, FM radio, loudspeaker, large keypad, music player and 19 hours of talk time with 2G or up to 7 hours with 3G.

The price of the phone will be around 1,700 kronor (US$241) in Sweden and will be available in October.
